Chicago. - ,'J. . 1 11,11 And there are people who spend a lot of time and money each winter hunting this kind of weather. The same folks are now seeking the breezes of the farther nonh. This is a good time to swat the fly and the weed. R"th of them are nuisances in several ways and the more of them -killed off at this season, the fewer we have to spread disease and cause trouble later on during the summer. Swat 'em. There are some things about swimming in a oath tub that make it preferable. among which are the fact that there are no step-offs and not near so much danger of typhoid germs, but most of us would take a chance on a pool if it was handy during this time of the year. We have never met the governor of California or heard much about him but he must be a real fellow. During the recent session of their legislature he vetoed and killed off twelve hundred newly enacted laws. Surely a man with that much common sense and nerve is deserving of a call to bigger things. Perhaps he is grooming as a candidate for president. Credit the weather man with another million or two because of the rains jn this section Saturday evening. While admitting that he had something to make up because of the conglomeration of cool weather, frosts and drought it is only fair to say that the recent shower was about as near ideal as could have been desired and the fine thing about it is that it was fairly general over the middle west. The crops and the gardens leaped along the past few days and about every one agrees now that chances for better than an average crop of most vegetables and grains are very good. The potatoe vines which were frozen down two weeks _ ago have perked up. corn is coming along, oats and hay look much better, even the grapes seem to have been saved. Plenty to make you smile yet and to make you happy because you live in such a productive land and climate. Democratic editors and politicians will meet at Terra Haute next week to talk matters over and at the same time republicans are to gather at Fort Wayne. Plans for the important campaign next year will be discussed and the meetings should be of more than passing interest to those who really feel anxiety about such matters as who will hold the state offices and who will represent Indiana- in the United States senate. The time seems to have come to talk of ‘‘shoes and ships and celling wax. •'of cabbages and kings.” The youthful students of Jesse James banditry who have been pulling off numerous jobs in Indiana during recent months should take cognizance of the orders given to the police of many cities to shoot to kill when mixing with those engaged in bank holdups. A half century ago a similar epidemic struck the then far west and it was broken up by public hangings Such a remedy seems rather severe but perhap - sthe bhly hurt.

age of a bank robbery a day and it is not to be wondered that the people are aroused. The practice must be broken up and will be. Feature writers said a lot of mighty fine things and all of them true about the late Thomas R. Marshall of Indiana. Several of them ask why he was not nominated for president and all of them admit he would have made a very splendid chief executive. One of the reasons is the old one, that men have to die before the good things are said about them and another very good one is that Mr. Marshall did not desire to be nominated at the 1924 convention because of his" health, age and lack of finances. Every Hoosier has known his good qualities for years and we are glad and proud that his name is being written in history in so deserving a manner. A letter from headquarters of the Clover Leaf division of the Nickle Plate railroad calls our attention to their recent offer to put in a wig wag, twenty-four hour watch service at the Winchester crossing in this city, made a month ago. From what we can learn the members of the city council have no objections, tp the proposition and it is hoped they will take what ever action is necessary; at the meeting tomorrow evening. The big advantage of the new guard is that it is guaranteed to work twenty-four hours a day and if for any reason it fails the company agrees to furnish men for the job. in those towns and cities where they have been tried out, they are asking and urging more and since the entire cost is stood by the railroad under a positive guarantee we should certainly try it out.

FIRST SURVEY COMPLETED BY NICKEL PLATE (Continued from Pago Ono) the present surveys are. of course, only preliminary, requiring approval of the higher ups after the estimates of cost have been determined. 0 'Midnight Tonight Brings Joy To Hoosier Fishermen (Continued from I’age One) northern Indiana waters where the "big thrill” will be observed tonight. Old time fishermen say that the weather never was more ideal for the opening of a fishing season. Only a light breeze has been blowng the last few nights, sufficient to ntake a "perfect riffle” and cloudy skies arc an indication of good fishing. All sorts of baits are used the first few days in an effort to determine which lure will net the best gain. Fish worms, crickets, dough and a -score of artificial baits are always claimed to be the very best. laite tonight, at a certain lake in northern Indiana, will be heard the chug <-hug of a (single cylinder motor boat and as it moves farther and farther up the lake to the "hunting grounds," it finally will turn the bend into the “fisherman’s Paradise." And in this boat will If D. M. Hensley, Tom Reid, and possibly several other Decatur people.
