INDIANA'S PLIGHT: — "11l tares the land to hastening ills a prey.” Where will it end and when will come the end of accusations and charges of corruption? What has, been the sin of Indiana that it should ( be thus affected? Is it the cry of | . Job or is there foundation for the idea that the state has sinned in some way? Are the officials dishonest, ignorant or grossly maligned ?i The mayor of the largest city has l been accused by affidavit of corrupt ' practices. A great number of his' advisers and supporters are either directly accused or are involved by implication. The reply is, oT course, a denial but there comes with the denial a counter-charge against the accusers. Who is right and who is clean the Indiana stables? All honor filial and where the honest one? Has Indiana sinned? She has perhaps erred in paying too little attention to the quality of men whom she has advanced to high places. She has not always inquired into tile fitness of her officers and must therefore stand by and watch the termination of the case. Th* pity of it all is that both accused and accuser may be right. The fear Is that one is right. The hope, remains that neither may be right and 1 that the whole affair is but the result of a miserable misunderstanding. The greatest pity Is that the entire state is more or less involved. There is but one course to follow and that one is a complete investigation of the whole affair. Does Indiana have corrupt officials? Remove them from office. Does Indiana suffer from misrepresentation by officials? Remove the maligners. One condition or the other certainly obtains. One or the other is greatly injuring the state and the rindtiion must not continue. Every official should De above suspicion. This might make it difficult to obtain officers, but the requirement should be enforced. The name of the state is besmirched. The honored nickname of Hoosier is becoming a reproach. The thing is attaching itself to the citizens. It must be ended. It is history repeating itself. The indifference of the electorate is the answer. That is Indiana's sin. The fact that not one-half of the qualified voters attend the polls makes gang' rule easy and gang warfare unavoidable. Who will be the Hercules to cean the Indiana stables? All honor will go to that man. —Anderson Herald, (republican). Captain Lindbergh took a great chance in his flight across the Atlantic but we have about come to the conclusion it was worth it. No private' citizen has ever received such an! ovation as has been his in Paris and he Is just getting a good start. He will be idolized in every foreign country he visits and his arrival in America will be a greater event than would that of any sovereign be. "Lindy” is a great boy and getting greater all the time because he is' showing good common sense and not permitting the honors he is receiving’ to swell his head. He would like to' slip away from it all but really can't' for a few days. We don't know just what Mr. Barker was trying to do when he sent his car ... hurling around another to smash into the Connell car without giving them a chance to get out of his road, or

* why he did It, but It is quite evident that he was going at a high rate of speed and that he did not watch his business. Such recklessness causes many accidents and much suffering and grief and in such plain cases, it would seem, those at fault should be taught that other people have rights upon the road. Make it your business to see that I the street in front of your home is [clean. Os course It isn't just your I business, but neither is It the business of the street force to take care of the refuse from your yard and there may be some there. Any way its a matter of cooperation so that the city will present a good appearance over Decoration Day and all the time. Rev. Frances E. Clark, known the world over as "The Father of Christian Endeavor" because he was the founder of that great religious movement to Interest the young people, died yesterday at Newton, Massachusetts. He was one of the great ' men to devote a lifetime to church ’work and was widely admired and 1 universally loved. President Coolidge will speak at ■ Hammond on June 11th. it has been ['announced by his secretary. Ninety I business men from that district went Ito AVashington in March and pressed their invitation that the president assist in the dedication of Wicker Memorial park. The president will stop there on his way to the west for the summer. Don't make a dump out of the public streets. Nothing looks worse and the street commissioner is making a special request that every one help have the streets looking nicely for Decoration Day. Mr. Fisher is a hard worker and a splendid commissioner who deserves your assistance and support. Just why the location of the summer White House is being kept such a secret is hard to understand. If the president thinks he can slip away to a quiet corner and not have anybody know who he is or where he is located he fs sadly mistaken we fear. * TRY THE * * NEXTONE * Music 1.
