If all the charges against Governor Walton are proven the people will wonder why they never discovered what a humbug he was before election. The twenty-two charges against him included about everything but murder. Those who bet on Papyrus in ihe big international event against Zev are now admitting that the latter had a “skin" disease as announced through the pi ess. They can prove it by one look at their depleted pocket books. President Coolidge declares the prohibition question is not a political one. He probably meant it ought not to be but it is and has been for a good many years and will no doubt continue for a good many more to enter in results and even the president cannot prevent .it. Harry Kitzelman of Muncie, for several years prominent in eighth district politics is dead at Los Angeles where he went three years ago for his health. He was the progressive candidate for congress in 1912 and later was a candidate for mayor of Muncie and was well known here. He had ability and was credited with being a clean, hard fighter for any cause he backed. It's hard to guess just what is happening in Germany now but from what we read it looks as though, like ancient Gaul, it will be divided in three parts. The best authorities say it will result in Prussia and Saxony with several smaller states of northern Germany forming a republic; Bavaria setting up a monarchy and the Rhineland, including the Ruhr, Frankfort, Hanover and Hamburg forming a republic. Indiana gave David Lloyd George, of England, the world's greatest democrat and his good wife. Dame Madame George and their daughter, a real Hoosier reception yesterday. Great crowds welcomed them along the route from Louisville to Indianapolis and at the latter place the party was entertained in a manner that left no doubt us to the h'gh re-| gard in which the great statesman and commoner arc held. It was a wonderful exhibition of hospitality to worthy guests. Howard L. Townsend, who succeeded Richard K. Erwin as judge of the supreme court and v.as elected to succeed himself in 1918, has resigned, giving as h'.s only reason that he wishes to return to the practice of his profession. Once upon a time * the office was not only an honor but one which paid a salary somewhere near the amount which a good lawyer could earn in fees from hie practice but now the eatery is a meager living and the wonder is that, we keep high grade men ou the bench.

something real you bad to come to New York. Now it's different, Rockne's pig skin men are admitted to be the classiest ever on a gridiron and even Walter Camp who picks the All-American team admits it even r this far in advance. r. Urging a day when the business r men will have as their guests the farmers and their wives, the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette refers to an s event held here several years ago s and which should be given each year. 0 The Journal-Gazette says: 8 0 “Some six or seven years ago, the - past summer, a notable event came j about in Fort Wayne's neighboring j city of Decatur. That enterprising I community became host for a great gathering of farmers iu a ‘get-to-gether” meeting of town and country. A feast tit to become historic, as no doubt it has, was spread, and eminent speakers addressed the assemblage. It was throughout and iu every detail a successful affair. Decatur’s hospitality met a ready and hearty response from the country, and out of such an inter-course nothing save good could come.” It is a sad tale that comes from a Pittsburg bootlegger, in a news dispatch from that city. The “bootleggers’ union.” he complains, has collapsed. Moonshine whiskey is selling at $4 a gallon, and he would not be surprised to see the price drop to $1 a gallon. There are so many boob ( loggers that “they have to wear badges to avoid seeking business from each other." And they are not inclined to wear badges. Instead; they are frankly competing, instead, of holding up the consumer and di-, viding the spoils as good bootleggers should. "I could go out tomorrow,’ ! says the informant, “and put my hands on 500 men who are peddling booze in downtown Pittsburg and the south and west sides. Such compet lion is ruinous, and eventually will drive about 75 percent of the hooch dispensers out of the business.” Which seems to be the cue for Gov. Pinchot, or President Coolidge, or somebody, to drive them all out of business before the news starts caravans of thirsty citizens from other cities treking to Pittsburg.—Goshen News-Times.

FTarrell) (U. P. Sluff Correspondent) New York, Oct. 23.—After having slapped his hands with official repri- ' tnands and suspensions and used up all the punishment that the law make: legal, the New York boxing commission is about ready to give up the attempt to make Joe Lynch be a good champion Lynch, the bantamweight champ ion. is to be summoned before the commission today to explain why he would not fight Joe Burman, the Chicago challenger, last week.
