They deliberately wrecked the bank at Larwill yesterday morning, using four charges of glycerine. It is said that there ; were more than a score of hold-ups in’ and arouml Fort Wayne over the i weekend and indications are that a 1 gang of bandits are working out oi 1 there.

his criminal practice, everybody will take up the usual trend of their affairs and few if ‘any have changed their minds. We can't see where the affair has done anything other than create publicity for Dayton and a few of the outstanding figures in the trial and furnished something different to talk about, print about, agree or disagree about. So that's that. The city council last evening took definite and business-like action to prevent the destruction ot paved streets in the city, because of the heavy loads of stone being hauled through for the construction of the bituminous highway north of here. It would seem that the state which insists on the greatest care of hei highways would also protect the citystreets and we believe they will gladly co-operate with local officials to secure this protection. We are sure also that the contractor has no desire to cause a serious loss to Decatur property owners. Our people will gladly do any thing within reason to assist in the work and to avoid any delay of construction but this of course does not mean that they can permit our paved streets to be so cut up that they cannot be repaired, it we ruin our city pavements to secure the better public road ziorth of here, we have not profited and the city of ficials will see that this is not done. o «

MAKING A MAN

And he is not a man who sheers At any woman's fame. Or scatters round for careless cars The story of her shame. For manhood oft rich lustre reaps From the brave silence it keeps. t Clean speech, clean hands and dealings fair, Proclaim the man far more Than any garb which he may wear Or any glittering store. We are so fashioned by God s plan Things of the spirit mark the man.

Press.) —Finding a job for Charley Evans Hughes, former Secretary of _ State is one of the pleasant summer pastimes of idle and not-so-idle diplomats in Washington. From the viewpoint of the majority of these envoys Mr. Hughes did an unprecedented thing, when in the full flush of a successful career, he resigned his post as secretary of state. Hughes told the world that he would retire to resume his law practice. But when the observers recall I ed his income tax return they just could not believe that Hughes was leaving his official position merely to resume the pursuit of lucre. It was a deep dark mystery of which no one yet has guessed the solution. Retains Prestige -Meanwhile the distinguished ex-sec-retary retains his extraordinary per sonab prestige in all international circles at Washington. His past activities remain a criterion by which the action of his successor cannot fail to be judged. “Ah, Mr. Hughes would never have done thatl is the sage commeht of the chanceries on such little episodes as the Kellogg-Calles salutations. This is not to be little Kellogg, but merely to call attention to the fact that Hughes besides his recognized greet ability zest for "correctness" —which is so dear to the hearts of many distinguished foreign emissaries. Why. it is gossiped, should such extraordinaryability be going to waste when the world is crying tor statemenship? Therefore the United States, or at least the world, must fifed a job.for Hughes. What Job? Should he be President Ah, that is for the future, and. in the best established diplomatic pdrltwce "Any discussion now would be nremature.' 1 Since Hughes was at least the godfather of the diplomatic developments which culminated in the Dawes plan, some quarters speculate with logic. "Why should not Mr. Hrghes in a private capacity or otherwise lend his distinguished attention to framing a workable plan for European securities.” Attempts to solve the international rug problem at Geneva were successful to only a moderate degree. Some would nominate Hughes to undertake a solution of this great question—but undcY whose auspices it is not stated. Codify International Law A third “job” for Hughes which allures the imagination of diplomatists here is that she should assume the leadership in working out the codification of international law. which now is generally regarded as one of the great problems confronting the world's statesmen. Hughes' extra ordinary qualifications as an international jurist are supplemented by an intense practical sense ot the difficulties that might be overcome. Therefore, as the commen goes, he would be an ideal person to undertake such a monumental task. Presumably the meeting of the InterParliamentary Union at Washington in October will afford a starting-point for discussion of international codification. Will Hughes be involved? Last but not least—everyone agrees it is merely the talk of the teatables —wouldn't Hughes, with his great reputation, his experience and his continental sympathies make an excellent United States Ambassador at Paris?
