There have been rumors, from time to time, that
General Pershing was less receptive candi-
date for the presidency
We don't believe it, and we'll tell you why.
The other day the good general visited friends In
a city that had not seen him for some time. News
papers sent reporters and cameramen to greet him
And Pershng refused to be interviewed and could not
be coaxed pose for pictures only after long discus
sion.
A politician reporter and camera-shy2 Surely not;
not in America. Unless this is different from all
others, he is not planning being elected to any
thing.

ernor Ed Jackson sent over the
State by E. E. Neal of Noblesville,
vice president of the Indiana Re
publican Editorial Association, has
been criticised by a number of
newspapers as showing lack OF
good taste just at this time. The
Governor is soon to go or trial
in the Marion County Criminal
Court charged with having at
tempted to bride former Governor
McCray. AS a defendant, he is
entitled to demonstrate his good
character to the jury. Whatever
admirable qualities he might have,
he has had abundant opportunity
to demonstrate them during sew
eral years as Secretary Of State
and as Governor.
The use of press-agent meth
DDS right now just before the trial
might be construed by some as
an attempt to influence public
opinion in connection with the
trial, and before jury is chosen.
Of course, we like to hear good
things about our Governors. The
fact that Governor Jackson loves
and helps boys, as Editor Neal
says. is much in his favor. In DEM

How many pounds Of water to the
acre are there in an inch of rain?
A rainfall of one inch over one
acre of ground would amount to
6,672,640 cubic inches, equivalent to
$3.50 cubic feet. A cubic foot of
pure water weighs about 62.4 pounds
and the weight of a uniform coating
of one inch of rain over one acre of
surface would be 226,512 pounds OF
1884 short tons. The weight of one
United States gallon Of pure wate:
is 8.345 pounds. Consequently
rainfall of one inch over one acre
OF ground would be 27,143 gallons of
water. This is equivalent to SOB

"Old Tom" Adams, Vincennes
editor, Is about to cast his hat in
the ring for that Republican NOM
nation for Governor. Tom it was
who started so much of the
trouble in the Republican ranks
'and who Numbered up and down
the State for a new deal, and he
has about come to the conclusion
that If there is to be any actual
house cleaning in the Republican
party he is the man to do it. All
set, with mop, scrub brushes and
the like, and has the practice.
Tom, it will be recalled, was ap-
pointed chairman of a probe COM
mittee by the Republican Editorial
Association and about the time
he began to accuse men like Gov
ernor Jackson, Mayor Duvall, Ar
thur Gilliom and even one of the
Marion County judges, the presi-
dent of the editorial association
attempted to repudiate Thomas,
but with rather poor luck. After
events proved Tom knew what he
was talking about and made fool
Of the president Of the aforesaid
Republican Editorial Association.
But Toms work, great as it was,
is not the kind that brings votes
on election day, and chances are
that with six candidates in the
field in the May primary Tom
would come in just after the fifth
man. And pity it is.

Revolutionary Houses
 Identified by Andrews

l Charles Andrews of Stanley street,
 q descendant of one of the pioneer settlers of New Britain, his fore fathers having settled in what is now known as Stanley Quarter, to- day related an interesting story
 relative to the land which Alix w.
 Stanley has given to New Britain for park purposes.
 MT. Andrews explained that the
 house now popularly supposed to be the Cad Stanley house and included in Mr. Stanley's gift, is in reality the John Stanley house, while the
 genuine Cad Stanley house Is the residence next north and now occu- pied by Olaf Larson and his fam fly. Both houses, however, date back to revolutionary days.

DEMOCRACY OF QUALITY
Miss Robinson Accuses Mrs. Van doebilt and Miss Morgan of AristOCratic Views.

New York. Jan. 1o P)-A group headed by Miss Anne Morgan and Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt are charged by Miss Gertrude Robinson Smith with trying to establish a demo cracy of quality" in the American Woman's association. which she said was founded as a democratic. self supporting and unsubsidized organ ization.
 Miss Smiths statement was in connection with her resignation as the association's president. A com- mittee headed by Mrs. Vanderbilt, she said. has taken it upon itself to pass upon applicants for member ship, excluding all who have not the qualities of potential leadership. She said the association originally was open to any woman who was self supporting.

gfaphers and secretaries has been provided for smoothing the mechan- ical part of the committees work. Delegates arriving at the univer- sity buildings today regarded the future outlook of the conference with great optimism because of the spirit of cooperation displayed by htose who participated in the first plenary session of the conference.
 The nature of the opening speech es. delegates said. had been most helpful in producing a good atmos- phere for the initiation of commit tee work. The optimistic but sober tone of those addresses. based on the consideration of results already achieved and of the gradual attain ment of distant ideals. without arousing impossible hopes or dash ing helpful ideas, appealed to com mitteemen as likely to prevent pre- judiced and unfruitful discussions in committees.
 A short conference of United States delegates was called by Chair man Hughes before the converting of tho first committee today. The Amer ican delegates said that this would initiate a practice of daily discus sions by them of questions requiring common counsel.
 Satisfaction with the progress SO far was voiced unanimously by the Americans. Calling attention to the courteous attention received from other delegates. they said that this was probably due to a desire to set at rest reports heard before the con- vening of the conference that the United States would encounter hos tile atmosphere.

MORROW RETURNS
 ID MEXICO CITY
Ais Important Xort to Do,
 He Announces

Havana. Cuba, Jan. ls R - Dwight w. Morrow. American am- bassador to Mexico, will leave the sessions of the Pan-American con. ference Monday afternoon and re- turn to Mexico City where he '.has important work to do."
 This announcement caused treat surprise among the delegates today as Morrow was regarded as one of tho United States strategic advan- tages at the conference. It was be- lieved his presence here would coun- teract any possibility of controvers- ial or reactionary matters being brought up and also any movement against the United States which might be proposed by any Mexican delegate.
 Mr. Morrow explained to the cor respondents that he originally &C., cepted the offer to become . United States delegate with the understand ing he would not be forced to remain longer than the short time necessary to participate in the organization of the congress and to get his delega- ton on favorable footing. He said his departure was not caused by the urgencies of the political situation in Mexico but in fulfillment of the agreement reached when he became a delegate.
 American Mexican cordiality was visibly emphasized in the eyes of delegates when Ambassador Morrow entertained the entire United States and Mexican representatives at din- ner last night
 All ceremony was definitely behind the conference today and the dele gates were bent on immediate con- sideration of the agenda-
 Charles Evans Hughes. chairman of the American delegation. worked out his committee assignments with his colleagues. The distribution sub. mitted by them to the conference was:
 Pan-American union: Ambassador Henry P. Fletcher. Hughes and Leo s. Rowe, director general of the Pan- American union.
 Public international low: Hughes Fletcher. former Senator Oscar w. Underwood of Alabama and James Brown Scott, president of the Amer ican Institute of International Law.

 Intellectual cooperation: Ray Ly- man Wilbur. president of Stanford university. and Rowe.

 Social problems: Scott and Wilbur.
 Since each delegation has only one vote in committee meetings the number of delegates from Q country is arbitrary.
 Tho quarters provided by the Cu- ban government for the committee meetings are no less sumptuous than the great University hall in which the plenary sessions are held. They arc mostly classrooms but exquisite i'll decoration and furnishing, as a rule with beautiful wooden desks for the children and heavy leather brass ! studded chairs for the committee men.
