EATING CAKE AND HAVING TT

DoEs a state officer or employe have right to
- leave of absence for the purpose Of campaign
ing for the 1885 primary The Governor says mo"
and thoughtful citizens will agree with him.
Granted it takes time, money and effort to form
an organization and line up delegates to the state
convention, the implication of salaried state posi-
ton is that the appointee or elected officer will
devote himself to the states business
OF course, this ruling by the Governor will en-
barrass all who expected to shed their state duties
during the early months of the new year so they
could make canvass and operate headquarters
On the other hand, if state employees and officers
could leave their jobs for preprinary campaign,
the Governor would have to admit that their serv-
ices were not necessary and he could be asked why
he appointed the-l in the first place Looking at it
coldly taxpayers would have to say that employees
can not eat their cake and have it, too. If they
choose to campaign for themselves they should give
up their jobs.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

MY first New Years resolution is not to make
w New Years resolutions. Yet if actually were
tempted to follow the custom, I could think up a
list long as lawyers brief. reforms which would
without doubt improve me- and which I never could
keep. like to fancy, however, that Heaven also is
paved with good intentions and that perhaps
we may get credit for all the worthy deeds want
ed so much to do, and yet never found sufficient
moral strength for their accomplishment.
I am resolved, therefore, during 1886, to make no
attempt to alter my husband to regulate his be-
havior, since experience has taught me the effort
will be futile.
To steel myself against the loving wiles of my
children so they may not have their way with me
often.
To cultivate sales resistance.
To obtain instruction about the technique of the
game shall not leave the football field as if
had taken part in a slaughter
To talk less.
To be more tolerant with the Danes of the
OAR
To fight twice as hard for pacifism as have ever
done before.
Never to speak slightingly of dogs especially to
dog lovers.
To resist with all my strength the power of mob
opinion.
To try to remember that crooners human.
To begin no series of exercises designed to make
me look younger than am, because the effort will
be sure to peter out by the end of the week
To strive for the clear vision which discoses how
fine is all noble endeavor and how senseless our
social striving.
To keep a budget, of my time as well as my
money
To be less slavish to the telephone by letting the
darned thing ring sometimes without answering it.
(There it goes now.)
To hold fast to my faith in life and the essential
goodness of people.

THE MILK PROBLEM

THE milk controversy settled here by price in
- crease is an old story in many states Control
boards try to fix price to the producer that will
give him profit and enable him to maintain his
dairy according to standards insuring health That
price affects the costs of the distributor who asks
permission to raise the retail price Then there is
the factor of the counter sale in groceries,
for which differental is allowed And finally
there is the consumer who objects to price increases
Next to plentiful supply of pure water, moth
Ing is so important to the welfare of ctys popu-
lation as plentiful supply of milk 1t is logical,
then, to consider the price to the dairyman II
should be high enough to justify modern, sanitary
handling and inspected herds. If state milk con-
troll is to mean anything it must mean state inspec-
tion and the ruling out of bootleg milk So price
cutting among distributors sometimes can defeat the
purpose of milk control.
The hearings show that milk control in Indiana
is incomplete. 1t fixes the price to the farmer but
it does not guarantee the product prevent the en-
try to indianapolis homes of sub-standard milk.

tation: "A fool and his money are

incandescence of a fine platinum
wire in connection with his famous
experiments with a 1000 cell bat
terry.
GLOW many new automobiles
were sold in the United States in
the first eight months of 1895?

cars in 1885 have reached zoos, TAB.

LOOKING BACKWARD
BY THOMAS E. HALSEY

I shall not mourn the passing of a
Or rue the human errors I have
made,
For reckoning may bring pang
of fear,
And life holds little for the man
afraid.
I shall be thankful for the lessons
learned,
Which broader vision, wiser
thought, may give,
That future problems might be well
discerned,
For only living teaches how to
live.
The fading year shall leave no
grievous tone
Nor bluntly say that am grow
ing old.
A twelve-month registers not time
alone
But progress on the course that
must hold,
Recording further moral victories
won
Toward the righteous goal I
would achieve
To have a heart so kind no soul
would shun,
A voice so honest none would
disbelieve
If I toward this end am drawing
near,
I've gathered untold wealth
throughout the year.

That would be very handy indeed
for those men who are working six
days a week. But what I want to
know is what they intend to do with
these Beech Grove shop men who
were laid off in 1884?
If we fellows could get back to
work we wouldn't complain about
where we lived or how far or long it
took us to get to work.
The biggest majority of the men
who we're laid off in 1884 had from
II to Is years and more service out
there. We men were under the i'm
preston that when business picked
up we would be called back to work
I understand they are working night
and day out there.
Do you call that fair to these men
who have spent their young lives
out there to learn a trade, married,
with families, who have lost their
homes and everything they have
worked for? I think these fellows
were done an unjust deed. If bust
ness has picked up on the railroads,
as the papers say, and they can
work these men six days a week,
what's the reason we unemployed
men can't be called in?
If you talk to the men who are
working they say it isn't their fault
they haven't called the men back to
work as they don't want all the
work. They say they'd rather divide
the work and let all have some work.
Well, why not let these unem-
ployed men work two weeks out of
the month and lay off the men that
have worked steady for the two
weeks. What's the matter with the
union out there? Why does one be-
long to union for years, pay his
money in and then get a dirty deal
like this? My slogan is share the
work.

THANKS THE TIMES FOR
CLOTHE-A-CHILD

By G. H. Winders, Flanner House
I want you to know how deeply
and sincerely we appreciate your
generous contribution of clothing
to the children of this section of the
city. We were able to clothe, as you
know, either in part or in whole, a
very large number of children.
Unless you knew the restitution
of these children, you can not know
the joy you were able to bring to
them. This is a great work you are
doing, the value of which will last
for many months.
This institution has had a great
Christmas filled with JOY and salts
faction in being able to help by rea-
son of your generosity and that of
many other friends, a large number
of children and many families as
we'll.
Be assured that all these are
grateful and that your generous help
is appreciated by the entire force OF
Flanner House workers.

dred billion dollar debt structure
resting upon this nations existing
property is fully so per cent too
high to permit natural recovery.
Capital claims are valid only if
they are. supported by consumers
capable of buying the products in
such volume as will insure capital

in excess of this natural balance

OTHER OPINION
Real Estate Taxes
Isouth Bend TribuneI

Among the objects of tax reform
in Indiana is establishment of a
system of just levies on real estate.
In the current bulletin of the In
diana League of Civic Associations,
Inc, the need of such a system is
graphically portrayed. Buildings To-
Gated in ''the same downtown block
in northern Indiana city" are the
horrible examples"
On one of them, a one-story oc-
cupied building, the levy for 1885 is
s645 or IS. per cent of the owners
gross income from the property. On
another, also one-story and occu-
pied, the levy is $72O or 4S per cent
of the owners gross income.

LIEUT.. GEN. LIGGETT

THE affection of his men is the highest achieve

Hunter Lggett who has just died. had that affection.
He distinguished himself in the World War as much

his humane treatment of his troops that all his

TODAY'S SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ

DROF. ALBERT EINSTEIN re-
l. manned firmly entrenched in his
position as the worlds No. / scien-
fist in 1885
The year Just drawing to a close
saw one more proof added to the
famous theory of relatively while
experiments in the field of the atom
constituted further confirmation of
some of his other theories.
The professor stepped into the
limelight also with new prelimi-
nary theory which seeks to unite
his own theory with the quantum
theory. The complete accomplish
ment of this would constitute an
advance greater than either of these
theories.
1t is a significant fact that each
year since 1919, when the British
eclipse expeditions brought Einstein
into world prominence by making
the first observational confirmation
of his theory, has seen the theory of
relatively become more f.mly en-
trenched.
THE 1885 contribution to the con-
l. firmation of the theory was
made by DR.. Robert j. Trumpler IF
the Lick Observatory.
DR.. Trumpler has confirmed the
red shift in the spectrum of thu
massive Glass o stars, the blue
colored supergiants of the galaxy.
This particularly red shift should
not be confused with the one upon
which the theory of the expanding
universe is based. That red shift is
due to motion. The one of which
Einstein speaks is the result of
gravitation.
The red shift required by rela-
tivity results from the fact that a
gravitational field slows down the
vibration of light waves, thus shift
ing the spectrum lines toward the
red or low-frequency end.
Tt was first confirmed in an
analysis of the suns spectrum by
the late Dr. Charles e. st. John of
the Mount Wilson Observatory. Sub
sequently it was demonstrated by
DR.. walter S. Adams, the director
of the Mount Wilson Observatory, in
the case of the white dwarf star
which is the companion of the dog
star Sirius.

JUST how much water each Of us
y should drink daily to provide the
best possible bodily conditions is
difficult to state.
A minimum of six glasses of Wa
ter day, in addition to that con-
tanned in foods. is commonly recon-
mended and is said to be sufficient
to replace the fluids lost from the
body during "a hours.
II you are a normal person, YOU
probably should take one or two
glasses of water at a meal and a
glass between meals, and perhaps
also one on arising and one on GO
ing to bed. You should remember
also that it is possible to drink too
much water as well as to take an
insufficient amount.
FOOD drinking water should be
" cool, but not ice cold. You
should, of course, avoid contamina-
ton from drinking glasses and
drinking cups.
Nowadays paper cups are pro-
vided freely in most places and,
where paper cup is not available,
there are usually drinking fountains
so constructed as to make it posi-
BILE to drink without becoming con-
taminated from the faucet.
The best nozzleS are those which
project stream of water horizon
tally, so that the water not taken
falls to the outlet in the bowl With
the nozzle SO protected, the mouth
of the drinker can not come in con-
tact with it.
WHEN water is absolutely pure.
w it has no taste and no odor,
but is also fat. If air is dubbed
through such water, it becomes
agreeable. Presence of a definite
taste in water means that mineral
matter is dissolved in it.
Sometimes water which tastes bad
does so because of an odor brought
about by the action of chemicals,
vegetable matter, parasites, or germs
which are in the water. This is
particularly the case when previ-
ously contaminated water is heavily
chlorinated.
If you can't stomach the ordinary
water of your community. it is al
ways possible to get good bottled
water or to arrange for filters which
will take away the artificial tastes
and odors.

Private business and politics too often are at
war against good government Each seeks special
favors. The former often thinks it thrives when
city, state and Federal Administrations are lazy,
inefficient or venal The latter is out to SEIZE the
Offices with which to reward the party's faithful.
Friends of democracy should cease fighting de-
fensve fight for the merit system. They should take
an aggressive stand in behalf of honest intelligent
and courageous government.
