Just why the republican leaders of Indiana are holding their conferences in Chicago instead of Indianapolis as usual, is difficult to understand unless they are slipping away from the Wat-son-Now ■ Goodrich ) Beveridge - Wall)-Branch-Morgan factions. Joe Keallng always was smart. Wouldn't it be fine if we had a swimming pool today? Wouldn't you like to take the children and slip down to the park for an hour and know that you were bathing in pure water, filtered and scientifically cleansed? Perhaps you can do it next year. Traffic laws are worth nothing unless the drivers of cars and vehicles obey them. Os course if you insist on breaking the rules and the laws they can be enforced, but it will require a regiment of police officers that will deplete the treasury and prevent needed and desired improvements. Ten years ago today Austria-Hun-gary declare 1 war on Serbia and started a bloody conflict which continued four years and drew in nearly every nation in the world. This is therefore being observed very fittingly by the Legion as a day for protests against wars, but not against preparedness for war. Until nations unite in opposition to war it is just as foolish to not be ready as it would be to discard the fire Apartment to prevent fires. , There is a great demand and a desire among our people to co-operate with the city in assuring an up-to-date swimming pool for next year. It we build one it should be large enough to meet requirements and should, above every thing else, be sanitary and so constructed that the water can frequently be changed and purified. There ate numerous ways in which to raise a fund to assist in this and if the details and cost are worked out we are sure the money needed will be quickly subscribed and paid. Senator Watson, of Indiana, lias resigned as chairman of the senatorial committee to investigate the enforcement of the liquor laws, and Senator Couzens. of Michigan, takes his place. Asked why he quit he replied that he was opposed to going ahead with the investigation while a campaign was on. Looks as though he had gone far enough to discover some tilings that would not help get votes. Any Wey when he got to- Washington he had a twn-hours conference with the presi<,'m’ and then quit.

Face to Face r. r With • r. Major F. L. Martin ir Commander of Around-the-World Fleet * (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) 0 Bumping against an uncharted and s unnamed mountain in Alaska with his 9 aeroplane, Major Frederick L. Mart--5 In was compelled to abandon his part 9 in the around-the-world flight. The 9 aerial tour was continued by the three 1 other planes under command of Lieu- • tenant Lowell H. Smith, a California boy. who received heavy bombardment training in England. Like the average aviator, Major Martin is a modest man. A native of Indiana, he graduated in mechanical engineering from Purdue University and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the Coast Artillery Corps in > 1908. and was given the rank of Cap-1 ■ tain in 1916. Transferred in 1920 to the Army Air Service, he now holds 1 the rank of Major. During the World War he was detailed to important work in the Air Service. With flying training at Bolling Field, Anacostia, D. and at Carlstrom Field, Arcadia, Florida, and his advance flying training as bombardment pilot at Kelly Field. San Antonio, Texas, 1 Major Martin has just about boxed I the compass in aviation adventures. I' Until given charge of the around the-world flight, Major Martin served i as commanding officer of the Air ' Service Technical School at Chanute Field. Rantoul, 111. 1 Under the direction of Major-Gen- I eral Mason M. Patrick, chief of the 'i Army Air Service, the War Depart ' inent is making new reeiwds for 1924. i The airplanes being used in the t around-the-world flight are Itougias't World Cruisers. The routes and i 1 maps were in charge of Captain Si I Clair Strcett who had made a prelim- t inary scouting trip to Alaska. i Aviation records are usually cal- I bulated by “flying hours.” Lieuten- < ant Smith has spent 1.700 hours in t the air, of which 1.000 hours .wereit spent in crsos-country flights, as a-1 pre'dminary record of acclimization. I t During these tense hours he has flown i nearly 100,000 miles, w hich is equal 11 to six times around the globe—an I 1

The county rouncil will meet in five weeks. If we are going to do it. we ought to be busy. A good community keeps stepping right along. Just now the leaders of both old parties pretend that the laiFollette ticket will do no harm. Probably correct but they will get some votps from foolishly inclined people. We know two votes they have now in this county. One is a republican, the i other a democrat; one is mad at the I old parties and the other is socialistically inclined. Both are wrong In I their" thoughts that they are getting even. In the first place there Is no possible chance to elect LaFollette. No one contends that. In the second place if this could be accomplished what could he do without a senate or congress. He is not putting out any candidates for those places and consequently any sentiment worked up for the third ticket is plain foolishness. Four years ago only half the people of the United States who had the right to vote, did so. Two yoars ago in Indiana it was about the same thing, a bad showing and a serious thing for this apathy gives those who favor a certain thing, wrotig qr right, the opportunity to win even when the ■inujorlty In sentiment Is against them. Senator Ralston w-as elected by a thirty-two per cent, vote and yet his vote was fourth In perontage of citizens who voted for senator in the en“re country, if you believe In good Wverament and have the right to vote certainly exercise that right This especially true this . -< '«■ .'.ft yo come are

. , gSr w*' ' ' V: MAJOR MARTIN says: “The significance and influence of the air flights of 1924 will mark an i important progress in the relations | and understandings between nations." — —: aerial mileage that surpasses even the dreams of Jules Verne in his wildest fiction adventures. Foreign governments are welcom Ing the air fleets which present a new phase of social amity between nations heretofore conveyed by officials aboard battleships and cruisers. The American aviators in Japan received something of the same cordial welcome accord >d Admiral Perry when he first anchored in Japanese waters. “The significance and influence of the air flights of 1924 will mark an important progress in the relations and understandings between nations. There is a curious but binding fellowship and comradeship between aviators. There is a welcome to aviation, not so much as a means of warfare, but as a means of closer and more friendly communication between nations. There is a fascination in the mastery of the air—sweeping over mountain range and broad expanse of sea that gives one a thrill that nothing else can parallel. America is the birthplace of aviation, and we have the aviators and the machines that will mark an advance in aviation in the next ten years that will make some of the experiences of the World War seems like ancient history.”
