s'— The organization of the loan associations here will give many people the opportunity they have been waiting for several years to build a home and pay the debt off as rent. Its the method which has built every city in recent years. The great city of London has had but sixteen murders within the past year. Compared to American metro polises like Chicago where the average is one a*day, it looks as though we might well study the whys and wherefors of European capitols. It's a certainty that something has to be done to check crime in this country. President Coolidge and Senator Watson have decided in favor of the proposed Van Sweringen ra.licad merger as well as of others proposed, believing this will cut overhead, per mit lower freight rates and prove of general benefit to the people of the country. For months the Nickle Plate managers and owners have been trying to secure approval of their plans which include the merger of the Njckle Plate, Cloverleaf. Erie, Hocking Valley and C. t, O. Lnes and it now looks very favortbln* Bjf them. And those best informed feel confident that the merger as pro- ■ •t • .I— -A m note f("lT

posed will include improvements for this city and others along the lines to be placed under one management. New York will stage a great political battle during the next few months. The city is the strongest democratic area in the nation and for a hundred years or such a matter has been controlled by Tammany. John F. Hylan, present mayor has refused to play hail with the organization, locally, state or nationally and consequently they have brought out Senator James J. Walker, popular, able and of-jileas-ing personality. Other leaders are for Hylan and when the war is over the political fatalities will be many Governor Smith is an anti-Hylan man and will campaign for Walker as will most of the organization leaders. Fireworks every night and most of the days from now on. We can't imagine a worse punishment than is allotted Russell Scott, murderer, one time millionaire aud sportsman. Convicted of murder by a Chicago Jury and twice within a few hours of the time for his execution he escaped, first by a one week leprieve from the governor and second by Judge David wro issued a writ of habeus copus when attorneys filed an affidavit that Scott had become insane. A jury was called and listened to evidence, returning a verdict late last night that he be committed to a mad house until his reason is restored. If he is ever declared of sound mind the execution sentence stands. For the rest of his days he must live a/nong the criminal insane with the knowledge that if he is declared sane he is to be speedily hanged. Most people would prefer the noose now than such a future. The Fort Wayne Journal-Garotte is calling attention to an Indiana law which forbids a motor driver passing around the car ahead it another automobile Is approaching and is within i>oo feet.

The difficulty Is , with this law, however, as it Is with so many—the the gauging of disances to an exactness is impossible for you have no way of knowing the speed of the approaching car and you can he easily fooled at night. In case of violation the officers would have a hard time establishing proof of the

distance separating your car and the approaching one. It is never enforced but its well to call your attention to it for you can’t be too careful if you would avoid either accident or arrest. Boys and girls who will begin four years in college within a few weeks would be benefitted if they could talk with those who were graduated this year and who are just as far fpom knowing what they are going to do in life as they were when they were freshmen. The bachelor of arts who has no position and no vocation is to be pitied. He is not wholly to blame. He usually is a product of an indifferent system of education and indulgent parents who think that after college is early enough for him to think about what he is going to do. The graduate realizes only too well that instead of fitting a man or woman for life college can easily unfit him; it is apt to turn him out needing an income of 35,000 a year with an earning capacity of 31.000. Boys were more fortunate in the day when they fully expected to go at once into ayjjusiness, a law office or to teacher's desk and begin at the beginning to earn a competence and work their way toward the top. They did no driving with the top down, either

actualy or figuratively. To defer a choice of vocation until after the college course is likely to be fatal. A boy should know when he begins just about where the road is leading in 'life rather than commencement day. The vocational guidance departments are good but they are not enough. What is needed is a fearless facing of the youth's problem when he is eighteen.
