Madison, Indiana, lias joined the parade and invited President Coolidge to spend his summer there. Just so he don't get over to West Baden or French Lick where things are loose. So far the coal strike hasn't worried most of us so very much but in a month or two when we begin thinking about filling the bins for next winter, the importance of the event will perhaps be reflected in the prices. An lowa statesman has presented a bill to the legislature making it a felony for a barber to put his finger in the customers mouth. The barbers ought to tell that fellow to get a ten-cent safety and dig ’em out of the corners himself. The new gold fields in Arizona, Nevada and New York should makej things hum for those sections but it won't help around here very much and they are all so far away that most of aiis can't get there. Wish they would dig up a few gold mines in this territory. Senator Jim Heed is going on with the Pennsylvania election investigation. The senate refused to grant the requested appropriation to cover the cost of bringing the ballots to Washington but fighting Jim says he will pay the cost himself. He is of the old Andrew Jackson type and this country needs a few fellows of his type now if they ever did. The new- government denatured alcohol is not so poisonous as to be fatal, it is announced by the department at Washington, but it will make those who drink it so deathly sick that they will think they have never before had a real "hang over,” but the same announcement says that the bootleggers have their expert chemists at work to correct this so they can take the liquor from the crankcases and drink if they want to. The city will start the work of improving the new south side park at once but because they have but little in the park fund this year, will have to move rather slowly. Why not raise a fund to aid them? We are sure that several hundred dollars can be secured for this purpose and we who have waited so many years hoping to see this improvement and have reached that age where we don't like to postpone everything, would appreciate it. It took a Chicago jury but three hours to find Harold Groarkin guilty of murder and then they showed their disregard of the seriousness of such a terrible crime as was his by fixing punishment at life imprisonment.

Croarkin had made a practice of abusing children and a few months ago murdered one of his victims by beating his head to a pulp with a hammer. Surely they should abolish capitol punishment in Illinois. A New York writer says that the . college men holding down the biggest executive jobs ill the big town are those who were graduated from the small freshwater colleges of the middle and far west. He blames overemphasized football in part for the apparent backwardness among college men from eastern institutions of learning. It is his belief that the present generation of college men in the east runs entirely too much to

"caterpillars,” otherwise, "worms in raccoon coats,” a type that seems to t be more interested in the standing of the football team than in the educational advantages offered by a given university. St. Patrick's day in the marnln’ aud every one who could trace an Irish descent was a wearin’ of the green today. The event is in celebration of the man who drove the snakes out of Ireland, according to the old story. If Pat was living today he might be a valuable man for the U. S. prohibition force to secure in place of Mr. Andrews who hasn't succeeded nearly so well up to date. People will wonder whether Clar enee Darrow views with satisfaction or pride his success in saving Leopold aud Loeb from the gallows—because they w'ere too young to be hanged’. Ever since the prison doors closed behind them, these men—Leopold in particular —have been making trouble. And today Leopold Is at least suspected of being the leader in a plot to poison all the prison officials thus making escape possible. There have been several attempts to break away, one of them involving the murder of a deputy warden, and with them all Leopold's name has been associated Just why the state of Illinois should have been put to the trouble and ex pense of detaining this cold-blooded rascal, and of protecting itself and the people against him and his money, even Darrow himself would, one would think, find it difficult to say. If he and his companion in crime had been hanged on conviction, as they should have been, justice would have * been done, society would have beer safer than it is, aud even the name of Leopold would have been forgotten As it is now. justice was insulted society is still at war with the man, and he is still “first page stuff." It was a grevious mistake that the Illinois court made. Perhaps the lesson will be learned —but, alas, perhaps not. For our criminal justice is a poor and uncertain quantity, on which no one can rely with any assurance that it will prove effective. —Indianapolis News. ♦♦♦♦♦**♦♦**♦♦♦♦♦ + BIG FEATURES * ♦ OF RADIO * *♦♦++++♦*+++♦*+* FRIDAY’S FIVE BEST
