Those two young men arrested in Lob Angeles for driving an airplane while intoxicated can't give loose gravel as an alibi. Now they're saying the DempseySharkey fight was framed up. We are waiting to hear that the Prince of Wales falls off his horse on purpose. —Wabash Plain Dealer. t i-j. The new signal at Five Points should warn drivers who have been used to running the old signals that they are not to do so under penalty of a fine. Its not surprising that Congressman H. E. Rowbottom of Evansville has been "hooked up” with D. C. Stephenson and the Klan. His name sounds like it. There is danger that if the political investigation is given a months rest by the Marion county grand jury it will be that much more difficult to get up steam. About the time Coolidge farm relief becomes a law if the dilly dally method so far enforced is used, the average farmer will be where he won t need any relief. Its like waiting until next November to aid the flood sufferers of the southwest. A half dozen convicts who stole wood alcohol from the paint shop of the Oklahoma prison at McAlister are dead or dying, a rather heavy penalty just for a drink of something to make them forget their troubles. At that perhaps it worked alright. They are booming Arthur Gilliom for governor now and many politicians don't care who it is just so they win. hope he is the Moses who can lead them out of the wilderness, but wait until you hear from Rev. Shumaker and a few others under whose hide he has stuck several thorns. Now look out the governor is mad and declares that the charge made against him while he was up at MackInca Island on a vacation is just old fashioned black mail framed up by his political enemies. He told one tunny story a short time ago about selling a horse for a fabulous sum. Now we don’t know whether to laugh at this one or take in Twenty years ago the Gary PostTribune started in a tent. Y’esterday it moved into a brand new $500,000 plant, including one of the most modern newspaper office buildings of the central west. The paper has grown as marvously as has the city of Gary which now claims to the the second city in Indiana and if its growth continues as it has bids fair to some day even pass Indianapolis. The fellow who announced from the United States weather bureau some months ago there would be no summer didn’t "know his onious,” speaking in the language of the modern youth but he can safely announce there will be some winter and every body who is wise will soon be preparing for It by getting the wood shed or coal bin properly filled. Don't put it off too long. After all things could be much worse couldn't they? With the great resources, the almost boundless wealth of this country, with a surplus of almost every product we are a long'

— — | ways from real suffering. Facts are that we are getting over the worst 1 of the Job of "getting back to nor-' malcy” and with proper effoit we can all manage to get along. We admit times could be better but we Insist that we will all lust have to make the best of things. Keep trying and keep working and keep smiling. Chamberlain flies off a steam ship and beats it into New York by two days, proving it can lie done and probably fixing things for the hurrying of mail and small express fhom Europe to America and from America to Europe. The distance too will probably lengthen as time goes on and before many years the problem of crossing the ocean will be 'shortened by half or more and without thte risk' taken by Lindbergh and Chamberlain in their recent flights. It all sounds very reasonable and workable. Mayor Thompson, who thinks he is "too good an American to be president of thte United States,” recently has stated that crime conditions in Chicago have Improved by 65 per cent.' in the first two months of his admin-j istration. So? Let's compare the' first two months of Thompson’s regime with the last two months served I by Dever. The murder total du’-ing Dever's last two months as mayor of Chicago was 88; the murder total during the first two months of Thompson's administration is 94. As against 341 robberies under Dever, we must record 540 robberies under Thompson.
