Observe the stop signs, drive carefully, help the officials enforce the city ordinances. While Mrs. L. A. Parsons of Montgomery county, Illinois, was attending the funeral of her husband, some thief stole all her chickens. It never rains but what it pours they say. The victory of two planes over the Pacific is dimmed from the fact that two others which left Oakland about the same time were lost. We are paying a big price of lives in our pioneering of air voyaging. Senators Watson and Robinson are billed to attend the picnic at Fort Wayne tomorrow. We have a feeling that these events are not really "picnics" for the leaders of the G. O. P. who are trying to figure away out of the hundred and one "squeezes" they have got themselves into. Talking about taxes, Indianapolis is facing one of $1.53 on the hundred dollars. Os course every body is complaining and there will be evidence offered that even with this increased rate they have had the poorest streets and the poorest government in years. That after all is the most expensive thing a community can have. Senator Jim Watson says when he feels better he is going to make a speech which will straighten every thing out for Eil Jackson. Won’t that be nice? Then we suppose Ed will pay him back by making a statement that will straighten every thing out for Jim. It ought to be a pretty good trade even for good traders. It transpires that J. Ogden Armour who a few years ago was rated at $200,000,000, the richest man in Chicago, has lost practically all he had the past few years. He is said to have been hit- for $130,000,000 in one year and during the past several years had not paid any income taxes. Perhaps he had better stuck to the butter ami egg game instead of dabbling in numerous other enterprises. Warren T. McCray, former governor of Indiana is to be released from the Atlanta prison soon, action which will meet the approval of most of the people of Indiana where the feeling is general that this man has been punished enough and far more than are most public men who have "stubbed a toe." 1 In this ease Mr. McCray at least did not sell out his office. Whatever he did was personal and not as an official. You can get a first-class seat at the Dempsey-Tunney fight for $125. How many do you want? What kind of a' boob would pay that amount for a' thirty-minute exhibition of how to “crock" a fellow on the nose? Strange as it may seem the big arena will be ’ jammed and the promoters will realize a greater profit in a few hours than will many of the big corporaions for a year of sc’-vice. The manly art of self defense has some merit but the graft connected will these exhibitions during the past few years should be checked. — Rev. Shumaker is one step nearer the penal farm as the result of the decision of the supreme court yesterday that his appeals for a rehearing and a new trial should not avail. He announced that he would appeal to

the United States supreme court and ’ wag given until October sth to get his papers ready. Tho lineup of the judges was the same as in the origI inal decision, three against him and j two in favor. As a result the anti.'saloon league is waging a war that t will pxtend into the political campaign 1 J next year, perhaps with some effectiveness. > Thirty-seven students of the Rep- * pert Auction School were given di- • plomas last evening after three weeks | > of intensive training. The class was. J one of the best which has graduated I I from the local school and the men 1 made numerous friends during their stay here. Colonel Earl Gartin gave the address on the subject "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he" and he left as a parting suggestion to the men that much of their future depends upon their self-confidence, Thats true as gospei in whatever field we engage. Unless we believe in what we are doing we cannot succeed. If we do and add to that industriousness and continued study we s.re bound to climb the ladder. Here's hoping that every one of the class of '27 makes good. Tlie passing of the Portland telephone plant to one of the big utilities of the country means advanced rates for the subscriber within a very short time. The Portland company was organized several years ago by local people, on the assumption that the then .United Telephone company, with headquarters in Bluffton, was gouging the people. As soon as the local company forced the United to sell under the threat of competition, the rates were advanced over the price made by the United. But even at that the Portland rate now is very much below that of the Bluffton rate and the subscriber can take a little boost and still be below par, as per the Indiana Bell. —Bluffton Banner.
