CHRISTEN: — Write upon the scroll of honor the name of another who has served his community with great credit and passed on, the name of one whose life | was exemplary to a degree which may. be safely followed as an example. Charles N. Christen, former mayor and councilman, leading -church and lodge man. an architect and contract- . or of more than local recognition. ! , bank director, civic and business lead- ; qr. always willing to serve, a stalwart citizen held in highest esteem by all. died yesterday at noon. : His death has caused deepest sor- j row in this community where he spent < his entire life. We knew him inti-. mately and we called him friend. We i were chums in school days and close i associates in manhood. Needless to < say we are deeply grieved and hurt by his death at what seemed the very noontime of his usefulness. In all' 1 things he was square. He was < methodical and careful and successful. He was always for progress and had served on innumerable committees and boards always with the one great desire to be helpful and to be right. As a member of the city council and chairman of the finance board for eight years he made a splendid record and then served four years as mayor with equal success. For many years he has been in the contracting business and a number of the finest ■ buildings of this section were built ander his bupervisian. He- was "J director of Hi. Old Adams County J bank and the Provident Building and t Loan Association, a member of the St. Mary’s Catholic church, chairman I of the finance board of the Knights of Columbus, an Elk, a Moose, a member of Rotary and in all these took a very | leading part. Charles Christen was < every inch a man. He loved his home and he lived a clean and wholesome | life. His death will be keenly felt 1 y [ the entire community which joins in j extending to the sorrowing family at | this time sincerest sympathy. | Charles Christen tried to serve and [ did and leaves the world better for I that effort. BANDITRY: — We are in favor of Indiana follow- j - ing the eastern states and enacting a | law in the coming legislature making | banditry a crime punishable by life | imprisonment. When men bent upon | bootlegging, high jacking, burglary or i other forms of crime, carry vicious | guns and use them with reckless rc- i gard of life, when they have the nerve to kidnap officials and hold them up at the point of their revolvers, when they rush madly over country roads and town and city streets in a wild , race, they deserve the severest . punishment. The men arrested as a result of the ' kidnapping of Sheftff Baker and ; Deputy Howef are vicious criminals j who would not have hesitated to com- j mit murder if by so doing they could escape from the officers. Most of these night workers are of the same ’ brand and if they persist in violating the law there is but one thing to do | and that is to make punshment severe enough to really amount to some- j Without doubt if life imprison- j ment and hard labor is added it will j tend to lessen crime. We are glad j the outcome was no worse and feel j that the three local officials are | mighty fortunate to have escaped i with their lives at the hands of these

men. There should be no delay in f bringing the bandits to trial and in their punishment to the fullest extent of the law. • • Undoubtedly feet were made before desks, but since desks have been in t use undoubtedly the feet of men have , been on them a good part of the time, lit is the natural posture of leisure, I brief or prolonged. Now it appears ! ‘that women have made another adJ vance and achieved this privilege—,or right. Miss Frances Perking, a ' welfare worker of New York, says , that under some circumstances it is a good thing for a young lady to tilt back in her chair and put her feet on ‘her desk. “Under some circumstances” is rather indefinite, and until more detailed information Is obtained had Vuesses may lead to embarrassment. But, speaking generally, it would no doubt be safe to say that the time for a young lady to put her feet on her desk is when neither the boss nor Mrs. Grundy is looking.—lndianapolis News.

Hardly had this thought passed through the sheriffs mind until Goldstein warned him, "If you let those fellows get us, we ll kill you and as many of them as we can."
