A deputy sheriff whipped George' Dale, editor of the Muncie DemocratPost the other day. They have done ' that so often over there that Dale is the only fellow who gets a thrill out of it. A Mr. Satovsky, who operated stores at Auburn and Fort Wayne, has admitted that most of the 150,800 he drew from his business the past year was lost gambling, forcing him . into bankruptcy. It’ll do it every time. Isn't it queer that some of the j same folks who fought to prove Rem- j us was insane when he was being tried for murder are now declaring him perfectly sound of mind? Perjury seems as- light these daft*as violations of other laws. Over at Hartford City the other evening two policemen stood by while a third was being soundly trounced by a drunken local tough. The News is urging a shake-up in the force and it does seem that there ought to be some action that would at least protect the men in uniform. .1.

We would think it would frighten anyone —to have a wire drawn about his throat and then a towel tied so tight that consciousness is gone.

To have a store filled with goods these days means nothing; in this age of competition unless you tell the public about it. Don't, overtook this. Its the most necessary key to success. The two frontier police officials who captured Hickman and who refused to accept the mjuney raised from women and children have been invited to tell the story of how they caught the young sheik in vaudeville at $5,000 a week for twentp -six weeks. We ■won't think near so TOuch of them if they do and less of the public if they pay much attention Io such an attraction.

Earl Peters, state chairman; Frank C. Dailey, a candidate for the nomination for gov- ’ ernor and Albert Stump, a candidate 1 for United States senator. A dinner 1 was served at six o’clock and short talks were made by a number of the leaders present. From now on poli- . tics will be a busy field and during the next ten months there will be something doing every minute. The old eighth district, will in addition to other activities stage an unusual political fight this year, it is predictI ed.

OLD LOU CABIN WASN'T SO BAC Pioneer Says Cabin Was Comfortable And Convenient Place To Live Logootee. Indiana Dec. 29 —(UP) — The old log cabin which some peopl-t lock upon as a cold, uncomfortable and inconvient place in which to live really wasn’t bad at all, according to Carlos T. McCarty, pioneer resident of this city. What was considered the cheapest in bygone days is the most highly prized now. Even the richest people of the state go to the mountains and; spend months fishing and hunting andl living in log cabins. McCarty said. “Tlie log cabin was really a marvel

of comfort to the settlers. It was a i warm, comfortable and convenient < place in which to live. The thick logs ( making the walls kept out the heat in ] the summer time ami the cold in the 1 winter time. It really furnished a home that was an excellent one. t "Few homes of today stand up like < the log cabin did. When cabins were built, the settler had the best assert- , ment of lumber to choose from. And < wlien the date for erection of Ins home j came along, his fellow triends flocked in for miles around to help him build it. Whole families would come to the scene. The men would all work on tbe house ami the wives would prepare < the meals Qir them. Sometimes the building took place in the dead of winter when women huddled besides huge bonfires to keep warm." But, McCarty said, when a num starts to build a home now he must ■ hire a carpenter. None of his fellow i men or even kinsmen help him. “In the early days, when a new t'a-1 mily came to the settlement and plan-

They were glad to see their surroundings growing bigger and to know they were to have new friends.’ McCarty declared the log cabin was the cradle in which present prosperity was rocked.

DARROW’S VIEW OF SOCIAL STRUCTURE WRONG, SAYS MAYER Cleveland, Ohio—(lNS)—The opinion cf Clarence Darrow, the famous Chicago attorney that humans are “ships on a stream" tossed back and forth with which we can do nothing, is al! wrong, according to Professor Joseph Mayer, head of the department of economics and sociology at Tufts College Mass., and author of the widely read book “The Seven Seals of Science." "For Darrow to say we cannot do anything about social structure of the world, is wrong," Prof. Mayers, who is visiting here, stated. The Massachusetts educator declared that although we cannot change mitral laws it does not cean we are not able to apply them. “Fire is a natural phenomenon," declared Mayer. “But man has changed it from a menace to a useful tool. “The automobile is purely an artificial creation yet man made it out of natural resources. Our modern society is Just as artificial as the automobile and man made it himself and man man made it himself out of nature." “We haven’t done it yet,” Prof. May-
