The month of February was the warmest in Indiana of any February since the government opened stattions here and yet some people think they have to spend the winter in cyclone Florida or earthquake California. Don’t get married in a lion’s den. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Osenbaugh of Portland tried it in 1908 and their

married life has been one big roar, , ending now in the divorce court The case was tiled this week.

AU you have to do is to learn to swat the ball like Babe Ruth. He has signed a contract for three years with tho New York Yankees for seventy thousand a year. Os course there's only one Babe Rutli but perhaps by practise you can duplicate his work with the stick and whenever you can there are a dozen berths open for you in the big leagues. | President Coolidge and his senate tio not seem to get along just as ■micably as they should to bring the best results. What the president wants doesn’t seem to be acceptable to the senate and what that body wants is not usually just wiiat Mr. I Coolidge wants. The senate now refuses to approve the appointments of. the president for the radio commission. Politics is—oh well, yum, j-uiu. The senate evidently does not want

Senator Reed to continue investigation of elections. They had a taste of it last year and it became so serious that most of those who were candidates became uneasy. When the senator offered a resolution for a recount of the Pennsylvania vote, the republican wise boys started a filibuster. Isn't it good when you stop to think about it? They take part in corrupt elections and then tell the public its none of. their business. * The New York stock market, went to smash yesterday and a frenzy of hysteria prevailed. Fortunes were lost, men surrendered their life’s saving, the fake boom of a week ago left many flat and there is danger that the come-back will be slow. A year ago to the very hour a similar decline occurred but the prices speedily recovered. What a lot of suckers there must be to play this game when a few men can ruin them and injure the country by selling out. ii ■ Orders from Chief, of Police Melchl Unit arrests should be made when motorists fail to observe the stop signals and signs at the various street corners should be carried out. If a few people violate the ordinance others feel they have a right to do so and soon there will be no observation of this law. With the coming of spring the automobile traffic increases and it is again necessary to use every care possible to avoid accidents. The

order is a right one and the police ’ should see that it is faithfully oafried out. The Decatur municipal plant has closed another successful year and 'i we commend the splendid work of J those who have had charge. According to the report to the state public service commission the net earning of the electric light plant reached I more than 151,000 and the water plant 1 showed a profit of several thousand I dollars. This was done also in a year 1 when a reduction was made on the power rate and shows the advantages of owning a municipal plant when it is properly operated. The future for this department of the city is very bright and there is no reason why it I should not continue to prosper and be a source of a splendid revenue for the city. f There doesn't seem to be much ' doubt among the members of the house of representatives as to the standing and character of Judge Dearth of Muncie. The vote for his impeachment was ninety-three to one. The fact that a committee of attorneys from Muncie who appeared, before the judiciary committee and asked for a compromise on promises to correct the conditions in the Delaware circuit court is an admission that things are wrong there. The ] impeachment now goes before the sen- I ate where a committee from the house 1 I will act as prosecutors and in the meantime the judge is in disgrace and off the bench. George Dale may not , be so much but he has certainly won ' a victory and right now with the 1 support of the dean element of Mun- ‘ cie, the long talked of clean-up can (

Fight Over Utilities Question Is Continued Speaker Leslie, Os House, And President Van Orman, Os Senate, Lead Fight For Opposing Forces In Warfare Over Utility Remedial Question; Goveror “Has Nothing to Say’’; Leslie Is Making Friends; Governor's Recommendation Is Overridden Again.

By Walter A. Shead Written for the Daily Democrat. Indianapolis, Ind., Mar. 3. —With Harry Leslie, speaker oj_ the Indiana House of Representatives openly espousing ouster of the members of the Indiana Public Service commission, as against the retention of the I resent members espoused by Lieutenant Governor F. Harold Van Orman, president of the senate, the two todies of the Seventy-fifth general assembly Tuesday engaged in a sniping warfare over the uti’ity remedial question. ' The lower house again, Tuesday, went on record as favoring utility remedy when by an overwhelming vete the body ordered a report on lhe Bender-Mendehhall measure which has been held in Judiciary A committee since Feb. 7. Then the committee of which Glenn Harris, Gary, is chairman reported out. for

indefinite postponement, the house refused to accept the committee report and ordered tile bi'.l back to the committee. The measure is aj companion measure to the Cann bill which was defeated in the senate and would provide for the repeal of the Spencer-Shively utility law and :< return to tlie franchise system of utility regulation. Leslie explained Tuesday that he had advised that the utility measures ; n the house be held up pending acts "... the upper body would pass one of the many bills before it and then the House would not duplicate action, but would merely pass on the senate bi'ls. When however, the senate killed all utility measures, Leslie got busy and ordered all utility measures out of committee to at least put tinhouse on record as to how it stands. The lower body has clearly shown that, it is in favor of remedial legislation. By its action, first in condeming the senate with being controlled by a utility lobby and again by its vote on the Bender-Mendenhall bi 1. it showed its fettle in so far as the utility legislation is concerned. So far Governor Jackson lias made his usual reply to interviewers fl have nothing to say” and remains inactive in spite of the demand of the house for him to procure resignation of the members of the public service commission. Leslie plainly told Van Orman's committee named to draft a resolution in reply to the house resolution that he would preparae a warm reception should their committee come to the house to probe or inquiie into the circumstances surrounding the adoption of the house resolution. Leslie has made hundreds of friends by his stand on the utility question. The Speaker has made himself ,the most outstanding man thus far in the gubernatorial free-for-ajl and has made it possible for him to go to the people with the Democrats in 1928 aud assert that he stood for the return of home rule in so far as the public service commission is con corned. The House and Senate and the office of the Attorney General were thrown into a turmoil again Tuesday by receipt, of telegrams from Thomas H. Adams, veteran Vincennes publish er and chairman of the press probe committee of the Indiana Republicar Editorial Association, challenging the speaker and the Lieiit-enant Governoi to permit him to appear before a joint meeting of tlie house and senate willregard to the political corruption in ves’-igation. Adams also charged the attorney general with opposing con stitutional government in his opinior that the legislature did not have the power to Impeach Judge Clearance Dearth of Muncie, and that the ojdu

ion was just as illegal as Gillium's actions with reference to the Marion county grand jury, in which he sat and heard evidence on the same questions which he defended the members of the public service commission on the charges of $19,000 campaign contributions brought by Alva J. Rucker, Indianapolis Corporation counsel. Gilliom has given Adams three days in which to retract statements that the attorney general was subpoenaed to testify as to the character of D. C. Stephenson. Fred Butler. Stephenson's secretary. Earl Klinek and Earl Gentry, Stephenson's lieutenants in an arson case growing out. of the firing of Stephenson’s former home in Irvington. Adams made the charge that Gilliom with other prominent Republican leaders was present at least on one <v"asion at a party and dinner at Stephenson's house. Gilliom denies that he was ever associated politically or socially with Stephenson nor any of his ‘gang.’’ It will be remembeied, however that Gentry, one of the Stephenson lieutenants was an employe of Gilliom in the attorney general's office. The writer, also well remembers the Republican convention of 1924, as "one who was there” and how the nomination of Gilliom was obtained through tiie Stephenson delegates at the convention. Sf-ph'-nson first threw his delegatio 5 to Wilbur Rieman, Muncie al torney, who was a Klan candidate for the Attorney Generalship. Walter Bossert, then Grand Dragon of the Klan, also supported Rieman. Through trades, however, of the Allen aud St. Joseph county delegations both of these delegations were for Gilliom. The convention was deadlocked and after several ballots had been cast, Slephenstm withdrew his delegates from Rieman and threw them to Gilliom, resulting in the latter’s nomination. Stephenson controlled this convention, and in fairness to Gilliom, the writer does not believe that he knew of Stephenson's action. The fact, remains, however, that Stephenson nominated, Gilliom for the office he now- holds. Rieman, by the way, is the same Rieman. who is under fire at Muncie with Judge Dearth. Rieman was named a prosel cutor and friend of the court, in the prosecution of the George Dale contempt proceedings. The senate spent the entire day Tuesday in consideration of the $49,200,000 biennial budget measure, as a commit,tee of the whole. They weeded about half way through the measure adding approximately $305, 000 before adjournment. The five new courts, thus far created by the legislature will cost the taxpayers approximately SIOO,OOO and this amount was added to the measure; SBO,OOO was added to the Adjutant General’s fund for the construction of new armories; and $125,000 for the construction of a new school building at tho Sailors and Soldiers Orphans home at Knightstown. Van Orman took the floor in the debate on the orphanage appropriation and slapped the governor in the face by asserting that false economy was starving the state institutions. "Tho state benevolent and penal institutions oL this stats and the educational institutions cannot exist on a tax rate of 23 cents. It is a physical impossibility," Van Orman said. ) The governor's recommendations were again overriden when his plans for removing the Butlerville colony to Fort Wayne were squelched by amending the measure to make specific appropriations apply at Butlerville. As worded the budget measure would have allowed Jim Jackson,

brother of the governor and superintendent of the Feeble Minded school at Fort Wayne to spend the entire appropriation on Fort Wajne and move tho Butlerville colony there. The two institutions are under the same board of trustees and it was the governor's plan to buy a farm neat Fort Wayne and merge the two institutions, add another link to the Jackson fandly tree by buying tho farm from Roebuck, a son-in-law of James Jackson for $100,009. The amendment introduced by Senator Lochard aud adopted, however spoils the Jackson family plans. o Firemens’ Pants Missing When Alarm Is Sounded Kingston, N. C. Mar. 3.
