The Nickel Plate railroad company has completed a reorganization as suggested by the Interstate Commerce Commission and will resubmit their plan seeking a merger of the various roads under their control. From the statement of the commission it is probable that the request will then be quickly granted and the work will proceed. We agree with Judge O'Donnell, of Toledo, that the young folks of today are no worse than those of twentyfive years ago and that the same impulses move them, but twenty-five years ago when the youngsters got a little wild the old folks scolded and fretted and set a better example. Now-a-days it seems the older folks are trying to out-sport the young men bud women and succeeding in many instances. Even at that we don't believe we are going to the bow-wows. Basketball is in the air today and most of the people who have crowdbd around the bulletin windows are not interested in such trivial things as business, politics, , sensational stories, congress or the League of Nations. What most of them want to know is who the winners will be at the Indianapolis and Chicago tournaments. Its a good thing to get away from the every day problems and let out jg>ur enthusiasm for the youngsters who excel in athletics.

’ The fourth quarterly conference of I the Methodist church of Decatur unanimously requested the return for i another year of Dr. Somerville Light and of Rev. W. W. Wiant as district superintendent, a deserving honor to two men of rare ability. The reports ( read at the meeting showed a record of progress and achievement with t gains in every department of the local church and the citizens of De- 1 catur will join the members of the ( church in urging that the petition be granted. 1 ——————— Thirty-six boys and girls have been : placed on the honor and high honor rolls of the Decatur high school, having received the grades which entitled them to this recognition. We i congratulate you and while you may 1 not receive the cheers and the applause that comes to those who attract attention in school sports, we assur e you that he record you are Halting will prove more than worth while in the great game of life and the victories to come as a result of your attention to your books, will count many fold as the years go by. Success is the great goal and the high marks you are making now the surest dashes for touchdowns that will thrill you after while. Because “the evidrfiiee does not. Warrant further inquiry" the United States district attorney, Albert Ward, has recommended to the department of justice at Washington that the cases against John D. Williams and Earl Crawford of the state highway commission, charging them with “irregularities in connection with the sale of surplus war materials,” be dropped. The action is proper for we doubt if two men more faithful to their duties or more honest in their transactions, have ever held office in Indiana. Now if the federal grand jury will indict the men who thus tried to besmirch the character of these men, we will feel that some

headway is being made towards a cleaner administration of affairs of great moment to the people. The state highway commission has formally taken over the additional 511 miles as announced several months ago and the act ion is approved by the governor. The list includes "Huntington to Decatur and east" to the state line, a distance of 33.5 miles and tile order becomes effective as soon as the county commissioners have obtained the right-of-ways. This is splendid news and mighty important for the counties effected. In Adams county it means a not tier state road entirely through the three townships. Preble. Washington and St. Marys, east and west. _ It will moan also that in due time the Franklin route through here, a part of the shortest coast to coast highway, ex-

tending from Atlantic City to San Francisco, will be improved by the state and federal government. The Improvement will bring thousands of travelers through this city and will prove beneficial in many ways during the years to come. It is the best news received here in several years. The nation will grieve with President Coolidge because of the death of his father, John C. Coolidge. The sturdy old Vermonter made a gallant fight and until the last day or two it was believed he would be able to stand the ravages of disease and age. His brilliant son left the White House at five o’clock yesterday afternoon on a -special train, hoping to reach the bedside of his father before the angel of death had touched his brow but lost the race against the grim monster. The elder Mr. Coolidge was one of those sturdy, honest, thrifty home builders of his section, a highly respected citizen, proud of the success of his son but modest in his desires for a placd in Hie official sunlight. He lived to see his boy, Calvin, fill the highest places of honor in his country, governor of Massachusetts, vice-president and president and he slept away with a smile upon his face.
