At least two of the men who were rejected will not let their case rest with their last application for naturalization papers, and the final outcome of it will show whether or not the Witness is right.—Adams County Witness.” It must be terrible to be such a martyr. Rohrer knows that the cases mentioned were refiled at the suggestion of the court he now seeks to defile for political purposes only and he expects the two to secure the final papers and then claim credit for forcing the court to do his suggestion. He knows too that the papers were denied them in the first hearing not because of any of the reasons he suggests but because of them refusing to the the government representative to answer the question as to whether or not they would agree to defend their country if invaded. He knows that if the men are entitled to citizenship they will get it and that anything he might say or do would in no wise effect the outcome. He is using hypocritical methods to take credit for matters over which he has no control and by intimating unfairness and by quoting questions asked by the government examiner he hopes to gain personal credit. It’s worse than conceit, itjs childishness. “O Boy,” is the correct signature for his outbursts.

atlon system and a reduction of taxes, not only on individuals, but on business, to the end that our industrial and commercial life may be freed from sorely hampering limits | tions. It is almost a year since Mr. Harding was elected, and that pro- I gram still halts. Nor is there the: least assurance that the new tax bill when it emerges, will he in any re spect satisfactory. The chances rather are that it will be a mere | makeshift, wholly temporary in character. Hardly less important is the railroad problem. The president lias asked for authority to make the ad-| justment that must be made —ought | to have been made long ago—if pros- j perity is to be our portion. Yet I that matter too still waits. When it comes to making trouble for the ex-| ecutive and the country, congress is | very prompt and decided —or rather the senate is. as when it, on the eve of the president's conference, passed i the Borah bill giving the free use of I the Panama canal to our coasting trade interests. There is thus abun-1 dant basis for criticism, and the wonder is that it has not been more pointed and severe. — Indianapolis News. Herbert Hartman, republican can- ■ didate for police judge at Indianapo-| x 1 lis. his wife and brother, were arrested yesterday on federal indict-' ments charging them with violation of the prohibition acts. Hartman still refuses to get off the ticket. He ' was arrested a few days ago in connection with an inter-state burglary conspiracy and with this additional j charge he will find politics a lively road to travel Shanks, the candidate for mayor, ii a friend of Hartmans but has not been connected with any of the crimes charged to the candidate for judge though it puts him in a rather uncomfortable position. The eyes of the state are on the Indianapolis campaign. It does take a lot of nerve for the railroad heads to tell the trainmen to get ready for another ten per cent cut when they have called a strike on the original 12%% reduction in wages, and at the same time announce there will be no cut in freight rates. If the strike comes and business is paralyzed, the public is going to find out who is to blame and just what’s what though it may be a rather expensive and disastrous investigation. It will however be'a speedier one than when congress appoints a committee. The cost of building four dreadnaughts, battleships for a show navy, would put the entire cost of the finest kind of a thirty foot highway from New York to San Francisco and another from the gulf to the lakes. Which is the more sensible investment? Which will do you the greatest good? Which will provide employment for the most people? It ought to be easy to see that the sooner we disarm and get to doing the things which- will advance us as a nation, the better we will be off.

WICKEDEST BUFFALO EXECUTED BY OWNER Cbeymße, Wye.. Oct. 15.—Geronimo. the wkkedest old buffalo bull that ever lowered his shaggy head, is- dead. Geronimo was owned by Charles Ir- ■

win. of the Y-6 ranch. But Geronimo's meanness Increased with age. Wire fences meant nothing to him. and the buffalo became a common sight on many ranches. Naturally, ranchmen cursed Geronimo's existence, an their cattle escaped trough the gaps in the fences. Reports of badly gored cattle came to Irwin, and one morning a particularly fine bull was found disemboweled. A few hours later, Geronimo appeared at hfs wallow, his head matted with blood. And so, on circumstantial evidence, the big buffalo was executed by Irwin. His head, with its wickedly l gleaming eyes hangs on the wall of the living rooms of the Y-6 ranch house. His hide makes a beautiful mg. “And his spirit,” reads the signboard above his grave, erected by cowboys on the Y-6 "is to be found among the phantom herds of Paradise, where Geronimo, the bison incarnation of the devil himself, has ceased his. roaming and fence-walking and| treacherous charges, to find happiness j in the society of his kind.” JITNEY DRIVERS UP. _____ I Muncie.
