Citizens Of Indiana have been
showing a pardonable lack of in
terest in the affairs of D. c.
Stephenson. This is traceable to
the former khan dignitary's failure
to take advantage of opportunities
to tell ALL"
The stage has been set several
times for Stephenson's supposed
ly startling disclosures, but the
chief actor always baked. The
citizens who earnestly desire to
see justice rendered to him have
accepted those queer demonstra-
lions as evidence that Stephenson
hasn't much to say, after all.
Stephenson has insisted from
the beginning that he was rail-
roaded into the State penitentiary
by influential people who we're
afraid of him and resorted to the
double cross to put him down
and out. He has produced no
evidence that strengthens his con-
tention that he should be outside
penitentiary walls. The prisoner
has also charged that his enemies
were using their influence to have
him broken physically and men
tally, supposedly to make it i'm
possible for the public to hear the
much advertised inside story"
That charge has also been taken
with grain of salt.
The public may feel differently
about the testimony of James B.
Davis that a conspiracy exists to
drive Stephenson insane by bru-
tally in the penitentiary. Here
for the first time Stephenson's
charge is corroborated.

Royalty Idols
Are Not Sacred
to Their Dogs
BY N. D. COCHRAN


DESPITE our democratic pro-
~ LESSONS we Americans still
have a laundering for royalty Just
why, we don't know Maybe it's
because in our callow youth we read
Of princes, princesses, earls, dukes,
duchesses, counts and countesses,
barons and harnesses, and many
things like these.
There was something of romance
about royalty-something that took
us in our dreams away from the
sordidness Of bread and butter, ham
and eggs, liver and onions, and other
substantial contributions to physical
well-being, and took us off into the
unsubstantial air of dreams.
Adolescent young American boys
dreamed Of princesses. who stepped
down from their high station and
acted like human beings with
democratic masculinity.
In their dreams adolescent
democratic maidens dreamed Of love
affairs with handsome princes-and
dreamed dreams their puritanical
inhibitions prevented them from
telling their stern and UNI
sympathetic elders.
. II
NTOW all this gets an awful shock
IN when the imperfectlons of
royalty are thrown on the screen.
For example, at meeting of the
Royal Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals somebody kicked
up row and a regular English
baron, Lord Ganbury of Southam
told fellow member Of the society
to "get to hell out of here" and
poked his royal fist in the plebeian
ribs Of said fellow member.
Whereupon Lady Cory, with her
pet poodle under her royal arm,
leaped to the stage and urged O.
vote Of censure to His Royal Nibs,
the baron, for degrading the So
ciety."
The unfortunate thing about this
gesture was that the royal lady for
got the human attributes of the
dog when she leaped to the stage
and unconsciously or subconscisus-
ly, gave said dog squeeze that
made him yelp like a regular dog
and resulted in the royal ladys mo-
ton being lost.
.--
Il
TINE trouble really is with the
Il dog. Dogs don't understand So
cial distinctions. Few if any Of
them see any difference between
being unduly Rugged or squeezed by
royalty or the scrubwoman.
And it develops, after ALL that
Bridget O'Grady and the captains
lady are all the same under the
skin; and that it is just as unsafe
for a British baron to step on the
aristocratic corns of an English
lady as it Is for Mickey O'Connor
to kick Heinrich Schultz in the
pants.

Editor Times-Upon comparing
the opinions of H L. Mencken and
Bruce Barton, in regard to the
presidential nominees Herbert
Hoover and Governor Al Smith, as
outlined by Alice Hughes in The
Times Of Aug. %, we find two rather
radical ideas.
Possibly the majority of votes
will be cast from about the view
point of Mencken and Barton. 1t
seems just too bad that we can
elect only one Of these greatest of
American Statesmen and defeat
the other one.
We agree with Mencken in his
belief that, for common sense leg
islation, individual rights, the gen.
eral betterment of conditions in
agriculture, industry, society and in
the home, Smith is the man to trust
with these everyday issues. Let
him work them out his own way,

 0F OLD MAGAZINE
First Cartoon of Elephant as
 (. 0. P. Symbol in It

A copy of the magazine in which was printed the cartoon which gave birth to the elephant as the symbol of the republican party is in the pos- session of A. l.. Wizard of 32 Park place, who was subscriber to the magazine when it brought forth the elephant idea, November '. 1874.
 The cartoon was the work of per's Weekly. and the man who. four years prior to his publication of an elephant marked, "The Re- publican Party had represented the democratic party in the form of a donkey, thereby giving that party its symbol. The tiger head which designates the Tammany political organization in New York city was also the product of Nast's drawing Loard.
 Reading in the Herald yesterday of Mast and his cartoons, MT, Wizard recalled having bound copies of the magazine of the dates mentioned.
 Mr. Wizard does not recall whether the two emblems suggested by Mast were taken up on all sides at once or whether their use came into practice by a gradual process, but he does recall frequent reference to the democratic donkey and the re- publican elephant in the years which followed publication of the cartoons.

PLIERS MAY BE LOST
Two Forest Rangers Have Dtsap- peared in Washington and Fears for Safety are Felt.

Spokane, Wash. July II P-Fear was expressed here today for the safety of Lieut.. Jack Reese, forest patrol aviator. and Howard Flint, chief district forester, who took off about noon yesterday on a patrol over the heavily forested district of North Idaho and have not been heard from since.
 Their plane carried only a six hour fuel supply. The country over which the patrol was to be made is so heavily timbered there is believed little chance that the pilot might have been able to land. Both men carried parachutes. however. and may have reached the ground in safety, but in an isolated place where it would be impossible for them to communicate with head quarters for several days.
 Lieut. Reese was married here yesterday in the first airplane we'd ding to be held over Spokane and left his bride an hour after the cere- mony to make the patrol
