The fellow who feels “stuffed" is not as good a worker as the one who feels just a little hungry but of course both sides can be overdone. • Giving the tariff question first place in congress means giving politics the - first place rather than the business * condition and the prosperity of the * country. The leaders of that body will scraj, for months over a tariff - that is certainly not needed at this time when we wish to take down the X barriers between this nation and ” others and in the meantime the tax - problem and others of momentous • importanefe will be pigeon holed. As to Mr. Lansing's book, it is the expression of a trained diplomat, „ justifying his own course and freely X conceding the great powers of his * chief. One can not help thinking. - however, that the secretary could have been more effective had he re- - signed from the cabinet before the president sailed for France and after ~ it became apparent that he would not heed nor even counsel with his sect* tary of state—.lndianapolis News. The death of Mr. Irvin Brandy berry shocked the community, coming in an unexpected manner and moment and there is the sincerest regret among our people. Mr. Brandyberry was a leading citizen, a splendid man in every way and one to whom many turned for counsel. In public office as in private life he conducted affairs in an economical and careful manner and served well. His life was clean and he leaves a record that should help others. Col. Proctor who financed the Wood campaign last spring is suing for SIIO,OOO which he claims is due him. The other fellows don’t relish the idea of putting up this cash which they now assert was wasted. So it goes. Had Wood been nominated for president and he was no doubt the most popular republican candidate, he would now be passing on applicants for jobs and the boys falling over themselves to pay up their campaign subscriptions. The commission form of government does not seem to be a very popular one in Indiana for but few cities are petitioning for it. After all Hoosiers like to scrap and the old fashioned election seems to be a good way to let off the steam but the trouble is that this does not alw'ays result best for the community. Candidates have just another week in which to file declarations and there are indications that the boys will get busy during that time. It is evident that Debs is to be pardoned and the howl which will follow may cause the reasons to be made public. At present many will • be unable to figure just why this should be the first problem to be taken up by Attorney General Daugherty. Certainly it is not of the greatest importance. What do you think the republican press would say about it if the same excursion had beets given Debs under a democratic administration? Isn’t ft just as bad for Daugherty to do it with the support of the Harding administration? I

Cardinal Gibbons i« given credit by the greatest men In this country and by the press generally us having been not only a great church man but a man of broad ideas along every Hue. u great patriot and an American first last and always. His career was a remarkable one and his memory will be held by millions of citizens. He is deserving of the splendid praise now being given him and an unusual thing is that he received much due credit during his life. Usually one has to die to be recognized but there certainly could have been little doubt in the mind of the church leader as to the opinion of his fellow citizens for he was frequently and handsomely honored and in such away as to prove the sincerity of those taking part. His death will be deeply regreted. ♦ DOINGS IN SOCIETY • Club Calendar — K 'i SATURDAY. U. B. Ladies’ Cake and Candy Sale —Schmitt Meat Market. Helping Hand Colored Egg Sale— Mutschler Meat Market.

AT LOW PRICE (United Pre.. Service) Indianapolis, March 26. — Shoe prices in Indiana have fallen about us low as they will go until next fall. W. D. Franklin, asHistant buyer for the Marotts Shoe company of this city, said here today. “Most shoeft have already fallen from one to two dollars," said Frank tin. “and I don’t think they will drop any ntoro this season. They may drop early in the fall, but 1 doubt it. "The high price that the manufacturers paid for the hides when turned into shoes on the market before the summer is over, and now that hides have fallen a little it will take almost until September before they get on the market,” he said. “Not only hides are keeping up the prices but the cost of labor has something to do with this. has not fallen off as yet, and when it does, it will have a tendency to bring down the cost of shoes,” he said.
