Stephenson must remain in jail and must face an early trial. It seems ridiculous for one who claims to be the “power” in Indiana. South Dakota has gone into the gasoline business and reduced the regular price feur cents. Perhaps that’s possible out there because they don’t have a three-cent state tax hooked on but any way the car drivers are happy. Allen county has fourteen thousand automobiles and only half that number of horses. Those who predicted that a few years ago were declared wild knockers, but its here and its quite probable that in another half dozen years the number of horses a ill be less and the number at cars greater. And So you just have to reckon with it and build your roads and do your farming in accordance. In hundreds of cities over this country, flags were placed at half mast during the past few days in memory of Willfam Jennings Bryah. Cities which did not support him during his campaigns honor him now because of his sincerity. Men who opposed him politically and otherwise joined in the paying of the last respects to a man who had given his life for his country as surely and as patriotically as did any hero on the field of battle. It has been a wonderful tribute to a splendid man. William H. Reed, well-known attorney and former Decatur man, has been appointed a member of the Fort, Wayne schol board. He is the third former Decaturite now on that im-' portant board, the other two being Mrs. L. G. Ellingham and Mrs. R. Earl Peters, all capable, splendid selections for which we congratulate the neighboring city. The new appointee was for a number of years a member of the firm of Schurger, Reed & Smith here and has many friends in this city and county. He has resided in Fort Wayne about twenty years. The coming winter, according to a noted French scientist, is to be the most severe since 1709 when the suffering was terrible and when the average temperature was so far below zero that the entire country became a Siberia for months. He attempts to prove that conditions are exactly similar. He may be off and we hope he is, but at least ft should cause provident people to prepare for that season which we know from past experience will require at least some preparation if we are to be comfortable. Mlidh suffering can he avoided if every one will store fuel and food during the next several months. Chicago will make an effort to inflict, arraign, convict and exact the death penalty for the bandits who held tip the fashionable Drake hotel Wednesday, and are promising to do it in a hurry. We have no vicious ideas about capitol punishment but about every one feels that the way to stop these Jesse James attacks is to show the bandits and murderers that they must give a life for a life. These men who deliberately raided a hotel in daylight, shot down a clerk and staged a battle of dangerous fury, should be summarily put to death and this is

to petition otherwise. If crime is to be stopped, evidently there is only one way to do ft and that Is by using the harshest and most severe means of punishment. William Jennings Bryan, popular statesman, commoner, religious advocate, three times a candidate for president, most gifted orator of his time and friend of the people, was laid to rest today in beautiful Arlington cemetery. All over this land, business ceased for a moment and thoughts turned to the man who has fought so gallantly and so unselfishly for right as he saw and believed it. The funeral services were simple, con sisting of the favorite hymns, passages from the Bible and a short sermon by Rev. Sizoo of the New York Avenue Presbyterian church. The nation mourns the death of a fearless, peerless leader and during the years to come will continue so to do. His Work and his successes, direct and indirect, will be felt throughout ages to come. There is something about the American people—we suppose that it is their Americanism - that causes them to enjoy a '‘fair” no matter how sophisticated or blase they may attempt to be. There is greater degree of fascination, to most of us, in a fair midway than in the finest of theatrical productions. We may pre tend that we don’t care for it; we may sneer and view it with sarcasism asides to our friends, but underneath is the desire to see each one of those shows and exhibitions on the midway. There are, few- Americans who do not get a great “kick’’ out of see Ing horses in the show ring. Sumi may profess they dislike the odor of the stables, but away down in us somewhere there is something that causes most of us to thrill to the sight of a horse or a bull in the show ring—Huntington Press. o I Big Features Os ) RADIO Programs Today f FRIDAY’E BEST RADIO FEATURES WJZ, New York, 454; WGY, Schenectady, 380, 8:25 p. m.
