It's a good time to think, over your | New Year Day resolutions. Os course * you will make the usual number, and of course you will break them as you always have, but don’t let that stop you making them. It’s a good thing to do, even though they only last a few weeks. None are perfect; each of us has many habits that should be improved upon. You know your own faults better than any one else if you — will be honest and admit it. Figure ; it out and trp to improve yourself—and keep on boosting. Attorney General Thomas M. Honan is entitled to the congratulations not only of the railroad men of Indiana, but of every man and woman and child that has occasion to travel upon 1 the railroads which traverse the state. He was the author of the full train crew act. While a member of the legislature he introduced it and secured its passage. It was intended to save human lives —the lives of both trainmen and passengers. It was attacked by the railroads. The supreme court of the t'nited States has just upheld it. And it will be enforced. Mr. Honan is a democrat. He was elected attorney general in 1910. He will be re-elected in 1912 and so long as he is in office the affairs of the people are in safe hands.
