its just one thing after another in this country. Now its the danger oi Hoods. There must be something k worry about. Three hundred million dollars was spent in America for ice cream last year. Seems like a lot, but figure it and you will find that Its less than a cent a day per person. And ice cream is a food, not a luxury any more. General Andrews who is in charge of federal prohibition enforcement admits that less than five per cent, of the liquor shipped to this country by smugglers is captured. Not much of a record for one who made his boasts when he began his service. The Fort Wayne News devotes nearly two columns to prove that times are good, a waste of space and words. If it is, those who are prospering. know it and by the same rule, if it isn’t the fellow out of luck or a job, can't be convinced. We suggest a straw vote to how the folks feel about it. If thats a fair means to decide other questions, why not this? A Gary drug store has received a shipment of a thousand cases of the new malt tonic beer and Dr. Shumak-

er declares the druggists will be prosecuted, testing out the new federal law as well as ascertaining just whether the Wright law is effective in such cases. Thats a lot of medicine and the auli-saloon league head is of the opinion that the talk that it cannot be used as a beverage is a hoax. The courts will decide. The deatli of John B. Stoll, veteran newspaper man of South Bend is sincerely mourned by hundreds of men engaged in the business for he has long been recognized as a sound thinker and a brilliant writer. He was the organizer of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association nearly fifty years ago and for several decades his newspaper, the South Bend Times, was a powerful influence in politics and society.

Indianapoli ■. known for years as | the northern Capitol for “colored folks" is in for a warm battle, following the adoption of an ordinance, segregating the negroes. The colored population has been growing steadily and recently they have been locating in the fashionable north part of the city. Unscrupulous real estate agents have encouraged them by selling them the properties and the whites are now demanding that they have protection from the encroachment. Catering to votes is one thing but mixing ' up as neighbors is quite another. Its really a serious problem. The fir t steps for converting the old cemetery into a city park were made this week when by request of the council, J. F. Fruchte, city attorney, appeared before the board of commissioners and explained the plan. He was encouraged by the board ami a petition will be filed and published soon asking that the ground be deeded to the city of Decatur. If this is done the w'ork will be done as soon as possible which will probably be next spring, as a six months notice is necessary under the law, that those so desiring may remove tire bodies from the old cemetery. The old burial ground has long been an "eye sore" and its conversion into a beau-

We are sure the movement has the support of all citizens of the city and county. This young man Claris Adams is certainly telling tales out of the republican camp and the old guard will spank him if they ever get him where they can do so without too many hearing him yell. In a speech at Noblesville he boldly stated that the plan of the Watson-Walb-Indianapolis News crowd is to throw the short term nomination into the convention, deadlock and then nominate Warren C. Fairbanks, owner of the News. Thats the reason, he explains why the newspaper which has always openly bought Mr. Watson is for him this year. Mr. Fairbanks denies the elleI gations. Go to it boys. ,i A w\ek ago today Jim Shumake, a bandit who escaped from the Okla-

He was captured Monday after a several days chase, plead guilty and threw himself upon the mercy of the court. Judge Coulter i promptly sentenced him to death in | the electric chair at Michigan City =on July 19th. Thats the only way we know of to break up the murder business. We are not hard hearted but we can't see this sob stuff either. If men insist on murdering people there is only one way to stop it and Judge Coulter used that method.

When I lie in my bed at night I can drive without slice or hook And I pose, with the ball in flight. As the "pros” in the picture book. And there’s never a green so far That I cannot dream it in par. At night when I lie in my bed Soft pillowed and nearly asleep, There is never a pit I dread And never a trap so deep, Or a pond or a clump of trees That I cannot carry with ease.

For sheriff on the Democrat ballot, we have HARL HOLLINGSWORTH. .Geneva’s town marshall.

For the past four years he has been Geneva’s town officer of the law and the duties he has enacted upon in a 100 per cent manner, therefore it is the belief that every voter of Adams county should consider this candidate and support him in the higher office which he now seeks.

Blue Print Used In Stephenson’s Trial Lost I Noblesville. Inti., April 8. — (United Press) —Attorneys for D. C. Stephenson, now- serving a life term for the murder of Madge Oberholtzer, today planned another step which will bring their appeal to the supreme court nearer reality. The attorneys are to petition Judge Will Sparks, of RushviNe, who heard I the case, for permission to substitute an exhibit introduced as evidence in the trial for one which has been lost. It was said the missing exhibit is a blue print of the floor plan of the Indianapolis Union Station. Completion of the transcript of the I evidence in the case, necessary for an appeal, delayed by loss of the blue print, it was said. o Mrs. Roger Swaim, of Bluffton, is ’ spending a few days with her mother, ’Mrs. Agnes Andrews, of this city.
