The Washington Evening Star under the headline "Keep an eye on Ralston" predicts a long contest in the national democratic convention next year uud the breaking of the deadlock by the nomination of Samuel M. Ralston, aenator from Indiana. That’s right only we doubt if the contest will last us long as the Star prediction intimates. Roy Couch, custodian of the state liouse has been removed from office, tlie state accountants reporting a shortage of $8,400 and still growing. Roy must have got the money with some speed and with the idea that he could not be checked. His place will be taken by Henry A. Roberts, former state statistician after a fight which brought in several factions including tlie klan and on which the board was divided<' The selection was finally made by the republican state committee, the principal qualification probably being politics. William Williams, colored, assistant custodian, was in charge of the state house after the dismissal of Couch. Several Decatur men started out this morning to assist farmers in this section take care of their crops. That's fine and more of those who

can really help can do a dandy turn by offering their services. We heard one young man tell a farmer last evening that while he couldn't do i some of the work on the farm, he ’ could drive u team aud he was promptly Invited to join the squad. He showed the right spirit. if we really want to help the farmer at this time when he has a real problem, if we want him to have a profit when the harvest is in. if you want this community to thrive, you have the chance in one way or another to do It during the next few weeks. John Whitfeld. murdered of Dennis Griffin, Cleveland policeman, and fugitive since May 11th was captured yesterday in Detroit. It's a queeer thing that after he had been chased across a thousand ufiles, captured and escaped and lost sight of, he should be caught so close to the scene of his crime. It is an enigma that be should not have sought escape by adding distance but he perhaps went on the theory that officers would not expect to find him so near to Cleveland. It is likely he will not be given an opportunity to make another get-away until the court and jury have passed upon his guilt or innocence. He is well known by a number of people here and had visited in this community on numerous occasions for which reason there is more than passing interest in his case. Concern over the visit of Governor Smith of New York to French Lick has every appearance of much ado about nothing. Thomas Taggart hap pens to operate a popular hotel, where those who can afford it frequently go to rest. Governor Smith went to that hotel to rest. Taggart happens to l>* a Democrat party leader, and Smith a Democratic presidential possibility. Therefore, the conclusion that there must be momentous significance in the Smith visit. Smith and Taggart have little in common except the fact they belong to the same political party. No governor of Indiana would have dared sign a bill to repeal the state prohibition, law’. This is an evident fact regardless of any feeling on the subject by individuals. Smith signed the repealer because he believed the people of New York wanted it. Taggart is playing Indiana politics and national politics, not New York politics. Smith has played New York politics to such an extent that he can not play Indiana politics, which also is the Middle w West politics and is the kind of politics that more frequently than not wins elections. —Evansville Press. o Girl Couldn’t Stand Clothes to Touch Her ‘ .My father got me a bottle of Ma.vr's Wonderful Remedy for stomach trouble and I atn feeling so much better since taking it.
