Isn’t that another glorBiiis victory? ***** D. C. Stephenson, a few years ago a leader of affairs in InHana, is now an isolated prisoner in the penitentiary but some of ■hose he put into office are sitting smugly back and smiling. Evidently they have him just where they want him. ***** Don’t be frightened because of the cool weather. Its not ■inusual. In fact for something like a hundred years we have ■m l a similar cool spell just at this period of the month of May. ■We’re going to have summer and plenty of it but not until the Biine comes. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The flood horrors grow and the list of dead in the storm ■•avaged districts is now conservatively estimated at more than ■six hundred. Thousands are injured, thousands are ill and tens ■>f thousand are homeless. They are wondering down there if the Bun will ever shine for them and its not surprising that such ■despondency reigns. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Mayor Krick “soaked” three manufacturers and dealers in liquor fines of SSOO and costs and gave each of them six months In the penal farm, the limit of the law and thats what they had ■oming. If others so engaged are wise they will slip out of this Illicit traffic and illegal practise before they are nabbed. ★ A ★ w ★ Indiana has finally quit sobbing for the criminals and for the ■next year or two may be expected to be rather severe on those [who violate the laws. And its high time. We are not hardIhearted but we don’t believe that Indiana or any other state can ■afford to sympathize with those who are making this an unsafe locality in which to live and thats what we do when we let the ■criminal off easy. ***** A North Dakota school teacher froze her knees while going Ito her school and then filed a claim for compensation. The lauthorities very rightly decided that if she was such a foolish Ifollower of fashion she got about what she should have expected i;piil tiip <l;ite Hidp/t <>.we .her T _ So. t haj.s I hat gll 'is.

[covered. ★ * * ★■ * The General Electric Company has solved the “daylight saving” problem so far as their employees here are concerned by the Announcement that they will begin work at the local plant an hour [earlier and quit that much sooner in the evening. The action is made necessary, they announce, because of the two hours difference between the regular time here and that used in the east where they have both (‘astern and daylight saving. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a great nation. The ten million dollars asked for by the Red Cross that they might render every possible aid for the flood and tornado sufferers has been raised. The first call was for five million dollars and within a week had been subscribed. Then the floods became worse and President Coolidge asked that the amount be doubled. The workers in every community kept right at the job and in another week had reached even that goal. We are proud that Adams county was one of the first rural counties of the state to go over the top. ***** Martin Van Buren Ross, alias Mike Ross, of Elkhart, has confessed that he and two pals, Johnny Baumgartner and \ erne Martin, both also of Elkhart, drove to Warsaw, waited for Franklin Tucker, eccentric clerk, to leave the store in which he woiked, slugged him with a blackjack, robbed him of several hunched dollars and then carried the unconscious man to Center lake and tossed the body into the cold water. They placed a chain ai ound the man’s body and fastened that to a metal cog. It is one o> tin most deliberate murders in the history of northern Indiana, a vicious, unnecessary killing for the sole purpose of robbery and the men should be sent to the electric chair. Giving such men as these light sentences in prison is but licensing a continuation of murder. ***** Members of the Indiana Public Service Commission will be here Tuesday, May 31st, to conduct a hearing at the court house, on the proposed abandonment of the traction line between this, city and Fort Wayne. If you know of any argument to prevent >t, you will be given the opportunity to be heard at that time, W e regret very much the decision of the company to halt the line an . have hoped for a change in the decision of the owners, but evi-, dently they are in earnest in the statement that it cannot be operated at a profit. The line has been in operation twenty years) and most of its employes have resided here. How can we save the industry? I
