A ten dollar fine tor shooting a man certainly does look like being a little too lenient. We can’t expect to break up lawlessness when we tnalte heroes of these wild western picture artists. The democrats are having a tine time in Washington this week, according to reports and if they use .. good judgment may be permitted to return there for four years. A gasoline shortage will occur in the year 2,000 it is predicted by the wisest oil producers. That won't ' worry most of us for the flivver will be pretty well worn out by that time any way. ; This country used seventy-four billion cigarettes last year, an average of 838 for every man, woman and child and the largest per capita in the world. Austria is second. Thais a; lot of cigarettes. ■ Congressman Will Wood, has joined the crowd of “not chooseth to run” , Hoosiers. • The list now includes . Everett Sanders, Harry S, New. Congressman Purnell, Frank Ball and several others who have managed to k?er» it quiet. They may be glad to get Thurman or Schortcmeier. Ohl Home Week will be a Hummer. We can tell by the way things are starting. Everybody is interested and already plans are being made bv a number of organizations and by families for reunions during that week which will add to the program and the interest. And that will of course grow as the plans culimate. Mayor Gregg, of Vincennes, fined himself one dollar and costs for running a stop sign in that city, refusing to accept his own excuse that his brakes failed to work. Thats fine, | Claude, hut don't forget that tried be- j foie some one else you might have been fill' d two dollars. You had that much the best of it any way, you could be reasonable. Only 8,850 buggies were manufactured in the United States last year. Twenty years ago that would not have supplied' some of the larger countries. The buggy is passing and will soon be looked upon as a souvinir of the good old days when a young man was no more popular without one than the lad of today is without an automobile. Fred Landis insists that both political parties arc corrupt. Maybe, but the democrats haven't, been corrupt in the state or nation tor some years. They haven't been in. Its a poor defense for the republicans say the others would be just as bad if they hud the chance. Marshall ami Ralston's administrations in Indiana should bo compared to those since. Some years ago Charlie Chaplin, then r.iarvlng out an existence as an actor on ten dollars per week made a proposition to •Conan Doyle to divide their incomes the rest of their lives, which of course was turned down by Doyle. Now he wishes he laid titled his foresight. We can’t always hear opportunity when it knocks. _____ Governor Jackson who first tried to escape trial on a bribery charge by taking advantage of the time limit has siueeedeil in gaining n little time by munanding a change of judge

which Judge Montgomery granted on r the grounds that it is the right of a defendant. He may continue to use It until he gets some one who Is just satisfactory and In the meantime he r. can draw his salary and something rt might happen. r, The Illinois Banker's association sent out seven hundred questionaires 'and as a result announce that thirty- * five per cent, of tho farmers are los--0 ing money, forty-throe per cent, break 5 even and twenty-two per cent are 5 actually losing money. That doesn’t 0 mean very good times because sixty--0 ftve per cent cannot go ahead with improvements. Only four out of ten children remain on the farms, and fifty-three per cent, of those thus engaged are tenants, according to the replies received. Public opinion autbng the rank and ‘ file of the republicans seems to favor 1 Herbert Hoover, but he has the gang ‘ all against him. There are favorite 1 sons and proposed candidates galore 1 and the indications are that the whips of the party do not propose for a moment that Hoover can have the honor. He is entirely too independent and too hard to handle for that to happen. It looks like another of those years when the bosses will meet in a hotel room and decide who. the lucky boy is to be as they did in 1920, | Whether or not we should have capital punishment, long discussed I and acted on in a number of the states, is again to the front because of the fact that women and youth have had to pay the penalty for murder. It is not so important perhaps, what punishment we mete out to these law violators who are so dis- , Curbing the country as it is that we ; act with more speeil in what we do -give them. If Gray ami Mrs. Snyder had been sent to prison for life immediately after their trial and kept ' there, the public would haw perhaps been satisfied and would have been saved the depressing news which has ' come from Sing Sing for weeks. If we ate going to electrocute them, lets do it promptly and if not, lets do that ', and quit haggling. We will never stop crime by slapping the culprits on tiie wrist a couple of times or by making our prisons as inviting as a city club. ■ , , — ...
