"-I .i— -j We are hearing jww of localities in which there is too much rain. It’s a little difficult to arrange it just right and the weatherman is usuallybeing “cussed.” Just the same the crops are looking much better than week ago and every one seems giieatly encouraged. And that's something. President Coolidge has signified that so far as he is concerned any revision in the tariff under the flex ible provision of the Fordney-Mc-Cumber law. will be as in the days of Mr. Taft, a revision upward. Most of us remember what it did to Mr. Taft but those “down easterners” seem determined and will continue to fool with it again until the usual explosion occurs. . The Fort Wayne News insists that I times are the best ever and that every body is simply rolling in wealth. And just when every one thought the officers had cleaned up the stuff there ( which makes men feel that way when it isn't so.

Tfiree mortal motoring sins are these: Driving recklessly; racing away after an accident, and drivtag while drunk. The public and the judiciary, and especially careful motorists, agree that for these offenses there can be no honest leniency. The fine is ridiculously inadequate. Even imprisonment has ceased to deter .n many cases. Revocation of license is the best and surest medicine for the driver who makes himself a highway : peril. The state of Indiana is using tlie revocation prescription and it is bringing good results, both tangible and intangible.—Lafayette C ourier. The Elk's home is of course a private institution, for the use of the members of the lodge and their families which means that when others 'use it they are tresspassing.

There is nothing about the proposed new railroad line to this Aity which should excite any one.

ii 5 *milcH, The building of the road will J'of course bring business and there is ' the chance of a division and of other ■ improvements which will add to the I substantiality and the value of this locality. Just what it will bring is not known at this time but the rumors are encouraging and the indications bright for some things worth while. When the proper time comes the management of the Nickle Plate will make announcements and In the meantime the developments will be watched with eager interest. Those who are urging the removal of Elephant Rock -to this city to be dedicated as . a monument to the famous naturalist and novelist, Mrs. Gene Stratton-Porter, are more enthused than ever today because a contractor who knows what he is talking about offers to do the job for S2OO. The idea is a good one and since it is possible, the only thing remaining is the effort. We knowenough about the men back of this to say that they do the things they sart out to do and we are sure every one will be proud of the wonderful boulder monument when It is ready for unveiling. Mrs. Porter was the best known writer of her day and several of her books and much of her data on birds and plants, will live through the centuries. This county hould in every way possible aid in telling the people now and after ■ while of her achievements.

tude in eleven Middle Western states outlined by highway officials of the Mississippi valley point to Kansas City as a future tourist mecca a, d hub. of a mid west highway system. Representatives of North, Dakota, lowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Minnesota, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Wyoming and Colorado highway commissions, conferring hgre recently with the ■ American Association of State Highway officials and the government bureau of public roads, drew up an elaborate plan of sectional roatte as part of series of national highways. Thirteen or fourteen east and west highways, and from three to five north and south roads were planned for this 'sctjpn. Kansas City was made the cen.ter of two east and west roads and two north and south roads. This provides a total ot seven interstate highways radiating; here, with four connections to St. Louis and Chicago. Kansas City is to be also the terminus of one north-south highway. The conference was under the direction of E. W. James of the federal road bureau, in charge of coordination and designation of national highways He anticipates the hard-surfacing ol all the roads incorporated to the sys tern, and the general awakening ol backward states to the importance o highway construction.
