Indianapolis is the sixth smokiest city in the United States, accounting for that palld appearance of citizens of the capitol. You can I inhale smoke and dust three hundred and sixty-five days in the year and keep that "school girl complexion.'’ It looks more and more each day as though Mr. Beveridge will consent to become a candidate for the senatorship against James Watson, a contest that will arouse much inter- ’ est not only in the state but over the country. Both men are recognized as powerful politicians who will fight to the last ditch. Another question lias been solved and now the American people can go on with their everyday business. An investigating committee has decided that the Shenandoah was destroyed by the hand of Providence. \\’e felt sure that would be the result, but the language is interesting. Ed Cox. of the Hartford City News wants to know whether or not Isaac Newton took cognizance of the 1926 skirt when he said, every thing that goes up must come down.'' Whoa. Eddie, every things to be settled by the committee on platform and reported at the state on June 3rd. Business is good in Decatur and will so continue through the year, is the prediction of those best posted and with a general knowledge of business here and elsewhere- With the beginning of the year some rearrangements are necessary and perhaps the slight reduction of working forces, but this will be controlled by the supply and demand of articles and will adjust itself. Th c average view obtained at this time is optimistic and thc future looks bright. More than fifteen thousand Hoosiers are today Inmates of correction‘al institutions, a gain of fourteen hundred over a year ago and we were ‘hoping that when the statistics were given out we would show improvement. It cost more than eight million dollars to take care oi these law violators the past year, a serious condition and one which should make every one think. The only way to get away from the crime wave is in a return to right living. A Chicago man. sixty-three years old. who had worked all his life to save $5,000, drew it out of the bank yesterday in new ten dollar bills, took it home, built a lire in the middle of the floor and a. it < urled into nothing, slashed Ills wrists and throat and died, leaving a note that lie had fixed things so his relatives need not quarrel over a division. Do you think he might have bceu a little off balunce? They are holding midnight coiiierences at the White House this week. Its funny how that happens whenever investigations are started which touch any of the cabiuet. officials. These men are working for the public Ibe same as the others and whatever they do should be jturt as accessible The people will not approve of a repetition of Hie scandal which enveloped the White House during the oil investigation. When we buy coal we think the priuci it, high add we eompfain and find fault but w-tten we read about the terrible mine disasters, when * I . ■■

We don't know the points at issue in the present anthracite strike but we do know we wouldn't care to do the miners work for what he gets, whatever it is. Rupert Hughes who likes to write startling things has shaken Washington by an article in which he declares it a mistake to make George Washington a moral hero who never did anything wrong. Hughes declares the cherry tree myth defeats its own purpose and then goes on to show that the "Father of his country” was so human that he drank liquor, played cards, cursed like a pirate at times, danced, smoked, indulged in sport* and was completely human and a man of Ills day. The attendance at the seven churches where special services are In progress is growing and is satisfactory to those In charge. Efforts to make the attendance tonight as “near one hundred per cent of member Ship as possible are being made and the pastors are urging a co-operation that will make this the biggest night so far during the week. You should give thought to this campaign for it is being made for you and with the hope that every citizen will stop to consider how lie is living, what he is doing for others, how will you live after your lew days here have passed, What will the harvest be? r . 0 _ | >♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦* * Big Features Os * * RADIO ♦ ; ♦ ♦<■ + + ♦ + + + ♦♦♦♦♦♦ i SATURDAY’S FIVE i BEST RADIO FEATURES y Copyrght, 1926 by United Press. 1 KDKA, East Pittsburgh (309-M), ( 8:30 p. m.

But none who's ever come to lave Or rich or famous, saint or knave Or friends from out of town Has ever felt the soft embrace Os those gay linens on his face.

Those lovely towels of gorgeous hues. Which no one ever dares to use.
