Mr. Hays at Indianapolis announces ; that the republican party is in favor of the League of Nations. Now, such being true, it is to be hoped that the chairman who so early announced that the republican party would have nothing to do with any such scheme of internationalism and has now been converted will be able to persuade the two senators from Indiana that they are not performing a use- 1 fill party service in campaigning' throughout the state against the' League of Nations. For it will not' do to defend their course by saying that they merely demand some amendments. It is the nature of I some of the amendments they insist on that fixes their position definitely j as one of opposition to the League.' We predicted some time ago that the! Lodge Round Robin would be a ■ plague to the signers and to those who encouraged it. and day by day the prediction is coming true. —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. An epidemic of accidents as a re-; suit of children handling firearms 1 seems to be going over Indiana and Dr. Robinson, coroner of Marion county, has started a campaign urg- 1 ing grown persons to use greater care in hiding revolvers, rifles and shot-guns so the youngsters cannot get them. Within a few days four people have been killed in Marion. county and a dozen over the state, and it seems to be high time to take ! steps to stop it. — - Buying Victory Bonds should be a '•■ pleasure for those whose boys are I safe at home and for those who'' realize that real danger is over. Dur-' ing the fourth campaign it was heard ’ * often, “We wmuld do anything or buy any amount of bonds if the old war could just be stopped.” Well, it’s stopped, largely because of the fact, that 110,000,000 people stopped everything else or nearly so and gave their attention to winning the war. Now, ■ let’s finish the job by paying the debts. Whatever the quota for Adams county it should be promptly and cheerfully met. I SOCIETY I .-. r.x'r. r.- - ....,. .. „ Club Calendar Saturday D. Y. B.
