Russell Scott has probably saved Cook county considerable money by committing suicide. He was tired of being convicted, sentenced, reprieved and retried and decided to Just get out of the way for some one else. This is Fire Prevention Week and should mean just exactly that. Millions of dollars can be saved in this country if every one will be a little more careful than they have been. And its surely worth it. Frank Lowden, former governor of Illinois can not make up his mind exactly whether he chooses to run for president or not. A year ago he was considered a likely candidate but when the evidence was heard in the Ford case last summer he slipped and hasn't been able to strike his stride since. A few weeks ago Editor Fred Rohrer of the Adams County Witness let go a double barrelled tirade against Attorney General Gilliom because of his attitude towards Dr. Schumaker. Last evening at Auburn Mr. Gilliom returned the fire against Fred, called him a hypocrite and even accused him of taking wine for his stomach s sake. If they are not careful they will be talking about one another. There may be decent pedlars but most of them are out to “slick" you if they can. They pay no taxes, do not help support your schools and churches, sell cheap goods with their smooth talk, have no interest in you or yours, fust want your money. Noah Johnson’s experience should be sufficient to warn you to look out for them. Don't sign papers, don’t pay your money out for goods you may never use. Trade at home with merchants who are responsible and who aie always glad to make good their guarantees. After all we can't imagine a much worse punishment for a man like Albert B. Fall, who had risen to a place in the president’s cabinet than to have the supreme court of the United States denounce him as a “faithless public officer.” He and Sinclair may be saved from a felon’s cell but they wiill leave as a heritage the disgrace of a decision Jrom the high court that they tried to “sell out” their government, they bit the hand that fed them. Whatever else is meted out to these men, this decision will never be erased from the pages of history nor its facts from the memory of the two men. Bill Rogers wants to bet 35,000 that Coolidge will be the republican nominee for 1928. Now if some one who is real close to the president can get a low down on what he really meant when he made his “choose” he can cop off some easy money. Os course Brisbane, to whom the challenge was sent may be that individual. Bill bases his opinion on the growing sentiment among republican leaders that Coolidge is the only man in America that can give Al Smith a race and that the New York governor will be it, young Roosevelt to the contrary notwithstanding. The more Roosevelt talks about Smith being of the East Side skum the more popular he will make him. They have men out in Amboy. Frank Badgley, bank bandit, found

I that out Saturday afternoon when he r held up the state bank. They are men who are not afraid of a cowardly individual behind a pair of guns. They did something that a half dozen r police departments have failed to do, r. and they have given their bank the ll best possible burglar Insurance. They r, also proved that they are above the average in intelligence and self control when they refrained from shoot2 Ing each other in their excitement 0 . and from shooting the girl whom the 5 bandit was using as a shield in his ? attempt to escape. Within five mln6 0 utes after the hold up was started fifty men with guns were surrounding the bank. That is remarkable in these days of lax vigilance. The state of Indiana has been needing something like that for some time and the entire commonwealth can thank the American boy citizens. —Peru Tribune. • A curious workman's compensation 1 case has arisen in Virginia. An emf ployee in a factory at Norfolk, being f injured while at work, was granted 1 compensation under the state emt ployer's liability act. He could not walk without crutches. One Sunday recently he attended a religious meetI ing conducted by an agent of Mrs. , McPherson of Los Angeles. Ho went i upon the platform for healing treat- , ment and walked away saying he was cured. The company employing him immediately stopped his compensation on the ground that he was not 1 disabled. Thereupon the employee I went before the industrial commiss- • ion and demanded that payment be i continued, because the prayers did not give him permanent relief. His ■ leg is now as bad as ever, he says. The pain left him when the healer prayed, and returned afterward. No' lack of sincerity on the part of anyone concerned need be assumed here. But the case arouses new problems in the realm of industrial compensation and insurance. Some irreverent person suggests that it would pay employers and insurance companies I • to have healers on their staff. —Peru' I Tribune. i o ************* * BIG FEATURES * * OF RADIO * ************* TUESDAYS FIVE BEST RADIO FEATURES WEAK— Hookup 8 p. m.

Oct. 11 —(UP) Teaching is a dangerous profession president Henry M. Wriston of Lawrence College, Appleton, believes. “The danger lies in perpetual contact with immature minds,” he declares in an interview today. “There is a tendency to lazy mental habits, a tendency to bluff, and a tendency to under-preparation. A teacher's mind is seldom stretched in discussion.” Persons going into dangerous profession must develop their powers of resistance, he said, and so must the teacher. He must develop his resistance by setting himself intellectual tasks which demand all of his powers, and by the development of a strong professional interest. i Better Mornings , via Breakfasts That "Stand By” You 3 Quaker Oats Urged Wide3 ly by Authorities FOREMOST educators, editor# as well as leading business instittutions like General Electric Company, now are widely urging breakfasts that “stand by” as an important I- aid to success. b That’s because it is now known B that over 70% of the day’s important work, in offices, stores, etc., falls " into the four morning hours—the d hours from 8:30 to 12:30. In most American schools, including Princeton, Yale, most State Universities and some 2,000 grade 1 schools throughout the country, 80% of the important classes are held before luncheon.
